The initiative is being supported by more than 35 renowned international organizations. Mr. Reji Kumar Pillai, President, India Smart Grid Forum commented, "Smart grids have emerged as a key enabling infrastructure to develop smart solutions to resolve India's energy woes. Smart grids are also crucial to some of Indian government's key programs such as 100 smart cities, 175 GW of renewable energy by 2022, 40 percent renewable energy by 2030, electric vehicles to combat air pollution and smart meters amongst others. Our requirements are very different from the western economies. Western economies already have 24x7 power but we need to control the peak time demand to ensure 24x7 power is available to all. Smart grid can help in selective load control and shifting for example turning of the load for air conditioners or water pumps in peak hours rather than load shedding across households which is what is happening now." Meeting the constantly increasing energy needs of the country and supplying 24x7 reliable power to all citizens is a major challenge in India. With rapid growth and increasingly rising energy needs of the domestic and commercial sectors, India is working on several futuristic fronts to find credible solutions to meet its energy needs. Smart grids are one of the several aspects of the solution. Power utilities, policymakers and other stakeholders are convinced of leveraging the evolving smart grid technologies in resolving some crucial lacunas in electricity delivery and this will be the key theme for the discussions at the 4th edition of India Smart Grid Week.
