Abstract:

The report provides both key insights for BRPL and a framework that will be useful to many of India’s distribution utilities. The solution framework is built entirely on open-source platforms and programming languages, and therefore it could be replicated by other utilities and built upon as new questions arise in the planning of India’s distribution grid. Ultimately, the outcomes from this report and the potential outcomes from the future use of this framework by utilities will provide policymakers and regulators with data-driven guidance on the impacts of their decisions.
