What is the Discom Transformation Platform?

The Discom Transformation Platform is envisioned as a highly collaborative space for stakeholders from across the power sector to participate and provide coordinated support for discoms across the country. It will engage directly with discoms to create new examples of integrated clean energy technologies, improve operational efficiency, accelerate AT&C loss reduction, and prepare for market reforms through the Lighthouse Discom Programme.

In partnership with several leading states, the Discom Transformation Platform will develop several “Lighthouse Discoms” by planning for and deploying integrated pilots that demonstrate the economic and environmental benefits achievable through clean energy portfolios.
