IBM teams with Bureau of Energy Efficiency to prepare Smart Grid Project

IBM has announced collaboration with The Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) in India to create the country's first smart grid project. Together they will create a cost benefit analysis for smart grid activities as part of the National Mission for Enhanced Energy Efficiency (NMEEE).

A BEE project, NMEEE is one of eight national missions that promote innovative policy and regulatory regimes, financing mechanisms, and business models that help sustain the market for energy efficiency.

Through this project, IBM plans to apply its deep services expertise to help determine smart grid readiness in India. The company will lay out a strategic assessment framework with an Indian perspective that looks at the adoption of new smart grid technologies, and identifies alignments in policy and regulatory frameworks to make each solution possible. It will help BEE determine global smart grid potential and also create toolkits for regulators and utilities for assessing benefits of smart grid investment decisions.

"With the growth of the economy and the enhanced demand for energy, efficient use of energy resources and their conservation takes center stage-this is vital in restricting wasteful consumption while sustaining development," said Kapil Mohan, IAS, Deputy Director General of the Bureau of Energy Efficiency, "Saving energy is a national cause and we need to work in unison to make India an energy efficient economy and society so that not only do we remain competitive within our own market but also internationally."

As a part of this collaboration, IBM will generate the smart grid business case and tools that will help calculate the return on investment for all smart grid projects being rolled out country-wide and also within the ISGAN (International Smart Grid Action Network), of which BEE is a member.
