New Delhi: REC Limited, a Maharatna Central Public Sector Enterprise under the Ministry of Power, today showcased the first live demonstration of India’s Peer‑to‑Peer (P2P) energy trading pilot program under the India Energy Stack at the India AI Impact Summit 2026, held at Bharat Mandapam. The demonstration was presented during a strategic session titled “India Energy Stack (IES) and the AI‑Ready Power Sector: Trust, Interoperability, and Scale,” marking a significant milestone in India’s transition towards a decentralized, consumer‑centric digital power ecosystem.
The highlight of the session was a first‑of‑its‑kind live demonstration of a P2P decentralized energy transaction conducted under the India Energy Stack framework. Arun Singh, a farmer from Meerut (Uttar Pradesh), used a secure, blockchain‑enabled platform to sell surplus solar‑generated electricity directly to Lakshmi, a garment shop owner in Delhi. Arun sold 6 units of solar power and earned Rs. 30. This historic transaction demonstrated the real‑world application of the India Energy Stack (IES), a Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) designed to empower citizens as active ‘energy agents’ rather than passive recipients of electricity.
The live P2P energy trading demonstration represents the most visible and tangible application of the India Energy Stack to date. The pilot enables prosumers — households, businesses, and farmers who generate renewable energy — to directly trade their surplus power with other consumers through trusted digital protocols, laying the foundation for a more participative and decentralized power market.
The live demonstration took place in the presence of Dr. Ram Sewak Sharma, Chair, India Energy Stack; Shri Jitendra Srivastava, Chairman and Managing Director, REC Limited; Shri Ashish Kumar Goel, Chairman, UPPCL; Shri Alok Kumar, Director General, AIDA; Shri Reji Pillai, President, ISGF; Shri Shashank Misra, Joint Secretary, Ministry of Power; Shri Prince Dhawan, Executive Director, REC; and Smt. Swetha Ravi Kumar, Executive Director, FSR Global.
