The Ministry of Power has constituted a task force comprising domain experts and various stakeholders, including representatives from Ministries, state utilities, Regulators, Gencos and Transcos, to chart a roadmap for the IES, including its components and design.Distribution utilities of Delhi, Gujarat, Andhra Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh and Mumbai have been identified for the pilot (Proof-of-Concept) implementation of IES, and the timeline for demonstration of the same is FY 2026-27. The implementation of IES has presently been initiated only in respect of the distribution utilities selected for the pilot implementation.

IES aims to develop unified, secure and interoperable data exchange mechanism so that services and systems work together seamlessly across the power sector value chain. The enablement created by IES aims to facilitate seamless integration of technology solutions related to enhancing efficiency of the distribution sector and consumer-centric services like load forecasting, demand response programmes, energy transaction, and overall digitalisation in the power sector.
