The document discusses smart metering in India. It provides context on smart grids and the role of smart meters in providing benefits like peak load management and reducing electricity theft. It notes that the global smart meter market has grown significantly in recent years and estimates India's potential market for smart metering to be worth INR 2,200 crores. Key drivers for smart metering in India include the Tariff Policy 2016 which mandates smart meters for high consumption customers by certain deadlines and UDAY scheme which calls for smart meter implementation. The document introduces a company that provides smart micro-grid solutions and smart meter features like budget monitoring and consumption alerts.

2. Agenda
• Smart Grid and Role of Smart Meters
• Global Market for Smart Meters
• India Potential of Smart Meters
• Market Drivers for Smart Metering in India
• Who are we?

3. Smart Grid and Role of Smart Meters
• ‘Smart Grid’ is globally new
lingua franca for technical
innovation to align energy
supply with demand in
market, while reducing waste
• Objective of Utilities smart
grid technologies varies but
broadly covers following
aspects
– Peak load management
– Better RE integration in spite of
its variability and intermittency
– Providing greater control to
consumer over household energy
usage
– Curtailing electricity theft
– Infuse efficiency and cost control
in electricity transactions
We deal in this

4. Smart Grid and Role of Smart Meters
• Benefits of Smart Meters
– Household or business equipped
with Smart Meter can monitor
its electricity usage and make
adjustment to reduce overall
usage or shift usage to non-peak
hours to avail incentive like
TOD and lower tariffs
– Utilities benefits in terms of
saving on peak duration power
purchase to meet demand and
save capital investments

5. Global Market for Smart Meters
• Global smart meter market has been growing significantly in recent
years
• As per reports, Global Smart Electric Meter Market was valued at
USD 4 billion in 2011 and USD 12.79 Billion in 2017, with a
forecast growth of CAGR of 9.34% from 2017 to 2022
• Growing demand for accurate billing coupled with efforts towards
energy conservation will augment the global smart electric meter
market growth
• Rapid development of electricity network along with growing
investment in smart grid will further complement the business
landscape

7. Market Drivers for Smart Metering in
India
• Tariff Policy 2016
8.3 Tariff design: Linkage of tariffs to cost of service
5. Metering of supply to agricultural/rural consumers can be achieved in a consumer friendly way
and in effective manner by management of local distribution in rural areas through commercial
arrangement with franchisees with involvement of panchayat institutions, user associations,
cooperative societies etc. Use of smart meters may be encouraged as a cost effective option for
metering in cases of “limited use consumers” who are eligible for subsidized electricity.
8.4 Definition of tariff components and their applicability
3. The Appropriate Commission may provide incentives to encourage metering and billing based on
metered tariffs, particularly for consumer categories that are presently unmetered to a large extent.
The metered tariffs and the incentives should be given wide publicity. Smart meters have the
advantages of remote metering and billing, implementation of peak and off-peak tariff and demand
side management through demand response. These would become essential in future for load-
generation balancing due to increasing penetration of intermittent type of generation like wind and
solar power.
Appropriate Commission shall, therefore, mandate smart meters for:
(a) Consumers with monthly consumption of 500 units and more at the earliest but not later than
31.12.2017;
(b) Consumers with monthly consumption above 200 units by 31.12.2019.
Further, two way smart meters shall be provided to all prosumers, who also sell back electricity to the
grid as and when they require.

8. Market Drivers for Smart Metering in
India
• GoI constituted National Smart Grid Mission in Power Sector to
plan and monitor implementation of policies and programmes
related to Smart Grid activities in India
• MoP notification of Smart Grid Rollout Plan
– MoP rollout smart metering on fast track for customers with a monthly
consumption of 500kWh and above in Phase-1 by December 2017 and for
customers with monthly consumption of 200kWh and above in Phase-2 by
December 2019
• MoP’s UDAY Scheme: Under UDAY scheme, it was also reiterated
to implement smart meter to all the existing customers. (Presently
27 states & UT’s are covered under UDAY scheme)

9. Who we are?
• A micro/mini-grid solution provider for underserved communities ,
commercial setups etc by utilizing modular battery storage technology,
energy management intelligence, and a pre-payment model
Vision : To provide affordable, flexible, and sustainable power to 2.6 billion
of the world’s poor living without reliable electricity.
What we offer:
• Smart micro/mini-grids solution that provide clean, reliable, affordable,
and scalable electrical power to underserved populations in remote rural
areas of the developing world
