Tata Power has collaborated with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to drive India’s energy transition towards a more sustainable and consumer-focused future.

The partnership will leverage AWS’s cloud computing, AI, and Internet of Things (IoT) capabilities to modernise Tata Power’s digital infrastructure and promote intelligent energy management.

The alliance will focus on enhancing operational efficiencies and grid resilience.

By adopting a digital-first approach, Tata Power is addressing the evolving demands of energy systems, which include the need for real-time analytics, automation, and decentralised power generation.

Tata Power has migrated 23 mission-critical applications to AWS, utilising Amazon’s Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) to improve scalability, security, and real-time operational efficiency.

This digital foundation spans various operational domains such as power generation, renewables, grid management, sales, and finance.

The company has further adopted a server-less architecture with AWS Step Functions to optimise energy transactions and grid operations, adapting to changing demand patterns.

At the heart of Tata Power’s digital transformation are two specialised data lakes, which collect real-time data from various sources and, with AWS Glue, integrate it into Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) for advanced AI-powered analytics.

The company is also enhancing its generation and renewables operations with AI-driven predictive maintenance and real-time analytics to optimise plant efficiency and maximise renewable energy output.

These technological advancements have already resulted in a significant reduction in aggregate technical and commercial (AT&C) losses and boosted operational efficiency across Tata Power’s distribution companies in Delhi, Odisha, and Mumbai.

The company noted that consumer-centric initiatives such as home automation and energy as a service (EaaS) are leveraging personalised energy insights and blockchain technology to help consumers manage their energy usage more “efficiently”.
