INDIA ENERGY STACK

National Digital Public Infrastructure for the Energy Sector

India Energy Stack (IES) is a national initiative of the Ministry of Power, Government of India, aimed at enabling the future of India’s energy sector through open, interoperable digital platforms and data-driven innovation. The initiative is guided by Shri Nandan Nilekani as Chief Mentor. REC Limited is the Nodal Agency, with FSR Global as the Knowledge Partner.

Working definition of IES

India Energy Stack (IES) is a digital public infrastructure to identify and connect stakeholders and assets, thereby facilitating open data exchange and interoperability in the power system through uniform specifications and standards, unlocking transparent, reliable, inclusive, efficient, and affordable access to energy.

Scope of IES

IES is

IES is NOT

A set of protocols/specifications that makes interoperability between grid entities/stakeholders uniform, reliable, verifiable and trustworthy. Essentially, IES defines how entities (DISCOM-Apps; DISCOM-GENCO; DISCOM-Transco; Genco-Transco; EV charger- Charger booking apps; consumer-producer etc.)interact withone another.
A set of services (API definitions and calls) plus a data model/taxonomy (how components are identified, organised and relate to each other, i.e., how the specified services are used together).

Therefore, IES is a foundational digital layer combining a common interaction framework, standardised taxonomy/data models, assurance mechanisms for trust and validation, and baseline technical standards. This enables the development of scalable solutions for the energy sector.

A centralised database/data lake.
A centralised service that pulls or receives data from various entities.
A software package.
Dependent on a strict hierarchy. It does not presume a hierarchical structure of the energy sector to function.
A set of specifications and standards whose sole purpose is to integrate internal systems of any stakeholder/entity/utility

Parallel example from banking sector- The Core Banking protocol does not define how banks maintain their internal operations but defines how bank IT system must return an account number when queried using a defined API.

IES will be rolled out through three key initiatives:

• IES Architecture [Document]: Will define the data architecture of the IES ecosystem, including protocols and specifications to enable procedural calls and data exchange between entities/stakeholders to support applications at scale.

• IES Adoption Strategy [Document]: Will identify initiatives to encourage adoption by entities/stakeholders, including risk identification and mitigation, considering distance from the frontier.

• IES Accelerator [Proof of Concept]: Will implement a regulatory sandbox for developers to test select use cases. Eg – BHIM app to implement the UPI architecture.
