The Ministry of Power has launched a Centre of Excellence (CoE) for regulatory affairs in the power sector at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Delhi, to strengthen India’s regulatory capacity amid rising electricity demand, large-scale renewable energy integration, expanding power markets and increasing digitalisation.
The centre has been jointly established by IIT Delhi, the Central Electricity Regulatory Commission and Grid Controller of India Limited. It is envisaged as a national-level hub for regulatory research, capacity building, advisory support and knowledge dissemination, bringing together policy, regulation, system operations and academic research within a single institutional framework.
