Mumbai: Summer may not be here officially but Mumbai is already feeling the heat. However, in what might prove to be a relief to consumers, there could be a way to control how they consume electricity and even earn incentives doing so.
Starting this month, Tata Power has initiated a trial of an AI-enabled smart energy management system. In the pilot, they will be testing this system on 55,000 residential and 6,000 commercial and industrial consumers of Mumbai.
As a part of this pilot project, when power guzzling air conditioners are switched on in the coming days, Tata Power expects its ‘Demand Response Program’ to help their consumers optimise electricity demand.
