As we get ready to welcome you back to our “physical” conferences,the health and safety of our participants is our priority. We have a robust COVID-19 safety plan in place, for a safe and premium environment to add to your experience.

The selected venues are 5-star hotels with spacious Ballrooms. We have consciously booked these as they have large capacities though we will allow only 40-50 per cent of the total capacity. This will ensure adherence to social distancing guidelines. The hotel staff is fully vaccinated and the hotel also conducts regular RT-PCR tests for the operations and service staff.

We will be fully compliant with the government mandated rules and guidelines for organisation of the conference.

Other Safety and Health Measures:

Vaccination certificates are requested on email after registering for the conference. We would greatly appreciate if you can send the same in the common interest of health and safety.
There may also be additional requirements mandated by the hotel.

The event is subject to Force Majeure Conditions

• The transmission sector in India is set for accelerated growth, driven by the need to evacuate large-scale renewables. With India targeting to meet 50 per cent of its energy needs from renewables and achieve 500 GW of non-fossil fuel capacity by 2030 as announced at COP26, significant expansion and strengthening of the interstate transmission system (ISTS) will be required. Consequently, a large number of ISTS projects are expected to be awarded by the government through tariff-based competitive bidding (TBCB), creating opportunities for public and private players across the transmission value chain.
• In addition, transmission planning is witnessing a paradigm shift, with the Ministry of Power releasing new rules for introducing general network access (GNA) to allow utilities to have an easier access to the transmission network across the country. The ministry has also taken steps to fast-track the planning and approval of transmission projects by revising the terms of reference of the National Committee on Transmission.
• Further, the recent separation of the central transmission utility (CTU) from Power Grid Corporation of India (Powergrid) is expected to provide transparency and a level-playing field for competitive bidding in transmission, as well as reduce the lock-in period for transmission projects to attract investments and more competition.
• Simultaneously, the state utilities will invest in measures to upgrade and augment intra-state transmission as well as sub-transmission networks. The government has also proposed to transfer 33 kV networks from discoms to STUs in a phased manner for upgradation and modernisation. In the recent past, states like Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra have awarded transmission projects to private players through TBCB and more states are expected to come forward to develop projects via this route to exploit the benefits of competitive tariffs, reduced timelines and higher efficiency.
• Further, with a greater focus on regional energy exchange, newer cross-border interconnections are expected to be built to facilitate the flow of power across countries. The One Sun, One World, One Grid initiative that aims to form an intercontinental grid is also expected to give an impetus to regional integration efforts.
• Regarding financing, asset monestisation via InVITs is likely to gain momentum in the coming years as the National Monetisation Pipeline has set a target of monetizing Powergrid’s transmission assets worth Rs 452 billion between 2021-22 and 2024-25.
• In terms of challenges, the evolving consumer load profiles, ageing AC transmission infrastructure, growing integration of renewables, electrification of sectors like transport and frequent occurrence of ex­treme natural events are likely to adversely affect grid operations. Therefore, in addition to expanding the physical grid, utilities will increasingly need to invest in advanced and grid-enhancing technologies to improve capacity, grid resilience and stability. These include technologies for system visualisation, data analytics, system automation, cybersecurity and flexibility, among others. The deployment of STATCOM and FACTS is also expected to witness an increase in the coming years.
• Further, in the medium to long run, utility-scale energy storage systems are expected to play an important role in catering to peak demand, addressing the variability and intermittency in generation, and providing grid support for balancing.
• The mission of this conference is to discuss the key trends and developments, and highlight the upcoming opportunities in the Indian power transmission sector. The conference will delve into pressing issues and challenges in the sector and the promising technologies and solutions. It will also focus on asset management, innovative financing models, grid enhancing technologies as well as noteworthy projects.
