ABOUT IES

ABOUT IES

Digital Public Infrastructure for India's Power Sector

IES is Digital Public Infrastructure for electricity, a network of digital highways that allows utilities, service providers, consumers, and devices to communicate securely.

It transforms how India's power system works at scale, making coordination faster, access fairer, and participation easier. For consumers, this means more reliable power, better transparency, and new choices. For utilities and regulators, it means better planning and governance. For innovators, it unlocks a whole new wave of energy services.

Most importantly, IES opens the door to energy agency - where electricity becomes not just a cost, but an avenue for livelihoods and empowerment.

IES in three steps

IES works in three steps. Register once, with a verifiable digital identity. Discover each other - look up, confirm, and agree what will be exchanged and on what terms. Then exchange data at machine speed. Register is the one-time effort; everything after is configuration.

Plug and Play

Plug and Play

Plug and Play

No system has to be replaced. IES works like a plug and-play adapter that sits at the edge of what a utility already runs. Connect once, and every new use case is a configuration, not a fresh build - connect once, and you can connect to any other IES-ready system.

Your Solar,

Your Power

Many homes generate surplus solar energy, but sharing it is difficult. Trade your surplus energy in your community or across the nation.

One Customer,
One Digital Record

Getting a new electricity connection involves paperwork and waits. Experience activation with a verified digital identity.

Every Solar Panel, Battery, and EV — Visible and Manageable

India has millions of solar panels, batteries, and EVs, but they are mostly hidden from the grid. IES enables visibility.

Usecase

Your AC, Your EV,
Your Earnings

India's grid faces peak demand while many households have devices to balance the load. Turn your appliances into assets that earn by supporting flexibility.

Usecase

Energy Policy as Code

Energy policies can be interpreted differently, causing delays. IES makes energy policy machine redable.

From Scattered Reports to Real-Time Intelligence

Regulatory data is fragmented, making compliance slow. IES standardises and logs datasets, making them machine-ready and reusable.
