Sector 04 · In planning

Energy — independence is built upstream.

Capacity numbers don't tell you whether a country is energy-independent. The cell chemistry, the wafer line, the rare-earth feedstock, and the grid-scale balancing software do. The Energy programme works on those.

Programme scope

What we plan to work on.

India's renewable build-out is the most-publicised story in the sector. The under-publicised one is the upstream — module manufacturing, battery cells, balancing markets, distribution-utility solvency. That is where the Energy programme will live.

Lines of effort under consideration

  • Distribution-utility operations tooling (open-source where viable).
  • Cell-chemistry & battery-supply-chain capability mapping.
  • Demand-flex programmes co-designed with state DISCOMs.
  • Public benchmarking of grid-resilience metrics.

This sector is being shaped this year.

If you run a DISCOM, a state load-despatch centre, or a battery-supply-chain team, your input shapes what we ship.
