The "Power for All" initiative in India is a transformative mission aimed at ensuring that every household in the country has access to reliable electricity. This initiative not only seeks to fulfill the fundamental energy needs of citizens but also plays a vital role in driving socio-economic development, improving education, healthcare, and overall quality of life. Electricity is seen as a key enabler that can uplift communities, empower small businesses, and bridge the urban-rural divide. To fulfill this vision, the Indian government has undertaken a massive expansion and modernization of the country's transmission and distribution (T&D) network. This involves extending electricity infrastructure to every corner of the nation, including remote, rural, and challenging geographical areas. India's diverse landscape, which includes mountainous regions, deserts, coastal areas, and dense forests, presents significant challenges to extending power infrastructure. To o...

 The timeline for regulations and amendments related to Forecasting and Scheduling (F&S) in India is shaped by both the Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (CERC) and various State Electricity Regulatory Commissions (SERCs). Below is an overview of the key milestones: 1. CERC Regulations: 2015 : CERC issued the Forecasting, Scheduling, and Deviation Settlement Mechanism (DSM) Regulations . This regulation applied to Inter-State transmission and aimed at maintaining grid discipline by penalizing deviations from scheduled generation. 2016-2017 : CERC made amendments to the DSM regulations to fine-tune the provisions, particularly with respect to the renewable energy sector, introducing tighter frequency bands and refining penalties for deviation. 2018 : CERC amended the DSM regulations again, placing a higher emphasis on better forecasting accuracy and including new provisions for renewable energy-rich states. 2020 : CERC issued CERC (Deviation Settlement Mechanism and Rela...
