• DUET (Digitalization of Utilities for Energy Transition):
  • It is a program focused on the digitalization of grid systems through the development of a technology suite in which all grid assets are digitally captured (including geo-coordinates, specifications, etc.) and integrated with live smart sensors for real-time data.
  • The system will conduct load flow analysis and real-time tracking of voltage, current, and phase data to reduce transmission and distribution losses.
• ENTICE 2.0 (Energy Transitions Innovation Challenge)
  • It is a platform designed to identify, nurture, and scale innovative solutions that have the potential to accelerate India’s startup ecosystem and help achieve its sustainability goals.
  • First launched in 2023, ENTICE aims to help scale innovations for the energy transition by facilitating access to funding, market linkages and mentorship.
  • ENTICE 2.0 will kickstart in January 2025, and will go beyond the scope of ENTICE 1.0 by focusing on supporting and scaling investable opportunities.
