“This training will help the Government of India achieve its target of having 10 percent of personnel from 14 of India’s state utilities trained in Smart Grid functions,” a Power Ministry release said.
According to the release, building a Smart Grid is a key priority for the Government of India as it will help curb power transmission and distribution losses, ensuring there is 24×7 access to power for all. A trained and skilled workforce is critical to achieving this vision.
The government has taken several proactive steps towards grid modernization, including the establishment of a Smart Grid Mission to plan and monitor the implementation of policies and programs related to Smart Grid activities in India.
