Implementation of smart metering and smart grids in India could have a similar or greater impact. Acknowledging the changing dynamics, the Government of India developed ‘Smart Grid Vision and Roadmap (SGVR) for India’ in 2013. Massive investment is required for renewable energy grid integration and smart grid development. The areas which need systematic investment include smart grids and energy storage, smart technology development, and capacity building through training. The Smart Grid Knowledge Center (SGKC) being developed by Power Grid Corporation with funding from Ministry of Power would address a training gap in the future.
