Apraava Energy recently hosted an official pre-summit event ahead of the India AI Impact Summit 2026, focused on “Co-Creating the Renewable Energy Future through AI: Collaboration Across Government, Think Tanks and Academia.”
Held at IIT Delhi, the event brought together senior stakeholders from government, industry, academia, and policy think tanks to collaborate and deliberate on the role of AI in supporting India’s renewable energy and power sector transition.
The discussions focused on three central themes: identifying areas where AI can deliver the greatest impact across the renewable energy ecosystem, understanding how AI solutions are being operationalised in real-time power sector operations, and exploring collaborative frameworks needed to scale successful AI deployments across the sector.
Key discussion themes from the pre-summit included:
- Transition from capacity-led renewable expansion to system-led planning, with AI enabling reliable and cost-efficient integration of renewables
- AI-driven forecasting and scheduling to manage renewable variability and reduce grid balancing and deviation risks
- Growing importance of distribution intelligence, smart metering, and behind-the-meter resources in shaping future demand and system flexibility
- Use of AI for predictive maintenance, asset performance optimisation, and smarter market participation across generation and grid operations
- Need for secure, interoperable data frameworks and robust cybersecurity safeguards to enable scalable AI deployment
- Importance of cross-sector collaboration and talent development at the intersection of power systems, digital technologies, and artificial intelligence
Apraava Energy’s AI-ML solution
Apraava’s evolution from conventional power generation to integrated energy solutions spanning renewable energy, transmission, and smart metering infrastructure reflects the broader transformation of India’s energy ecosystem toward clean energy and intelligent power systems. Leveraging insights from its smart metering data, the company has developed DISCOM GPT, an AI-enabled solution that monitors distribution transformers’ health in real time to help utilities detect emerging risks and undertake predictive maintenance. This pioneering AI and ML solution was recently recognized by the Ministry of Power for advancing innovation in India’s power distribution sector.
Apraava is also developing AI models to improve forecasting, optimize generation, enhance participation in power markets, and implement predictive maintenance solutions across its renewable portfolio. Backed by decades of experience in managing wind and solar assets, the company aims to further strengthen performance, efficiency, and reliability through the use of artificial intelligence.
Global forum
The India AI Impact Summit is a global forum hosted by the Government of India from February 16-20, 2026, to advance the inclusive, responsible, and action-oriented adoption of artificial intelligence across key sectors. The insights and actionable recommendations emerging from the discussions will be consolidated into an outcome report and formally submitted to the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology of India (MeitY) as part of the deliberations for the India AI Impact Summit.
