Energy Transition – Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Company Limited

Energy Transition

High Aggregate Technical and Commercial losses of around 16–17 percent leading to sustained revenue leakage and financial stress.
Increasing dependence on fossil fuel–based power exposed consumers and the utility to fuel price volatility and supply uncertainty.
Grid infrastructure not designed for high renewable penetration, causing reliability risks due to intermittency and two-way power flows.
Rising subsidy burden, particularly for agricultural consumers, creating cross-subsidy pressure on industrial and commercial tariffs.
Absence of a structured, long-term pathway to align decarbonisation, affordability, and grid reliability at utility scale.

Adoption of a comprehensive Energy Transition Plan integrating generation, distribution, grid modernisation, and consumer-side reforms.
Large-scale renewable energy procurement including solar, wind, and hybrid projects through competitive bidding.
Solarisation of agricultural feeders under Mukhyamantri Saur Krishi Vahini Yojana 2.0 aligned with PM-KUSUM.
Deployment of smart meters, digital monitoring systems, and data analytics to reduce losses and improve efficiency.
Strategic investments in grid modernisation, forecasting tools, and planned battery energy storage systems.

Progress towards increasing renewable energy share from around 14 percent to a targeted 52–53 percent by 2030.
Landmark achievement of installing 45,911 solar agricultural pumps in 30 days, earning a Guinness World Record.
Measurable reduction in carbon intensity and advancement towards 100 percent green energy for agricultural irrigation by 2026.
Mobilisation of over ₹3.3 lakh crore in investment and creation of an estimated seven lakh green jobs.
Strengthened financial sustainability and operational resilience of one of the world’s largest distribution utilities.
