3. Relevance of Smart Grid in India
Power system in India has roughly doubled in last decade, growing at 8-10%/yr
Generation installed capacity of 215 GW, 4th largest in World
“No access” to electricity for 30% Indians
Per-capita consumption is just one-fourth of World average, tendency to grow rapidly due to electrification
Demand by 2032 is estimated above 900 GW.
12th Plan target for RE generation is 36 GW. Current 12% share of RE will be > 20% by 2020.
National Mission on Electric Mobility: target of 6 Million EVs by 2020
An increased share of RE requires smarter systems to manage it efficiently, and ensure its stability & reliability

4. Smart Grid for India Stakeholder Expectations
