India is set to integrate artificial intelligence (AI) into its national electricity grid, enhancing real-time risk detection, fault prediction, and cyber security. This strategic shift aims to support the projected increase of renewable energy to over 500 GW by 2030, allowing for proactive measures against potential outages and market manipulation. AI will also be crucial in monitoring market behavior and detecting cyber threats, as the grid’s complexity rises. To ensure effective implementation, the government plans to develop a national AI assurance framework and upskill operators in data science and AI ethics, transforming the grid into an intelligent, self-correcting system.
