Photo credit: PTI NEW DELHI: The government has proposed a national framework to standardise the sharing of electricity sector data, paving the way for easier access to information on power generation, transmission, distribution, demand and renewable energy, while putting in place safeguards for consumer privacy and critical infrastructure.The draft National Electricity Data Sharing Framework seeks to create a common system for collecting, classifying and sharing electricity-related data generated by power producers, transmission and distribution companies, load despatch centres, regulators and other agencies.Ministry of power has shared the draft framework with stakeholders for comments.While adoption of framework would be voluntary, govt has also proposed establishment of a National Electricity Data Centre and a National Electricity Data Portal to create a nationwide ecosystem for sharing electricity data.Electricity sector data is currently scattered across multiple agencies, follows different formats and definitions, and lacks a standard mechanism for access, making it difficult for policymakers, researchers and industry to use the information effectively.Framework proposes classifying shareable data into two categories: public and access-controlled. Public datasets, such as installed generation capacity, generation mix, market prices and aggregated statistics, would be available freely. Access-controlled datasets, including feeder-level operational data, detailed load flow studies and de-identified smart meter data, would be available only after registration and KYC verification.The draft makes it clear that sensitive information, such as cyber defence protocols, real-time strategic telemetry, transmission vulnerabilities and power exchange bid data before market clearing, will remain outside its scope.To protect consumer privacy, framework requires personally identifiable information to be anonymised or de-identified before being shared. It recommends techniques such as anonymisation, aggregation, pseudonymisation and tokenisation, in line with Digital Personal Data Protection Act.Each utility adopting the framework may appoint a data governance officer to oversee data classification, process requests, ensure data quality and handle grievances. Public datasets are proposed to be available free for viewing, although utilities may charge for bulk downloads or commercial API access. Academic institutions may receive concessional or free access, while govt agencies would not be charged.Framework also envisages wider use of APIs and secure data environments to enable data sharing without requiring datasets to be downloaded. It says data issuers may provide preferential access to Indian AI developers and startups through such secure platforms.The draft says Central Electricity Authority will prescribe common data formats to ensure uniformity across sector.Get the latest India news and live updates.
