Chandigarh, 21 February, 2025: Tata Power- one of India’s largest integrated power companies with presence across T&D, Generation, Trading, Renewables (including Manufacturing), and Energy as a Service (EaaS) – has embarked on a data-driven transformation with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to accelerate the country’s transition to a greener, smarter, and more consumer-centric energy ecosystem.
Tata Power is strengthening operational efficiencies, enhancing grid resilience, and empowering its large consumer base, spread across multiple states, to be active participants in India’s clean energy future and transition to a low-carbon economy.
India stands at the forefront of a global energy transformation, with the International Energy Agency (IEA) projecting the country to lead global energy demand growth over the next two decades. Tata Power is championing this transition through a strategic collaboration with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to modernize its digital infrastructure and drive intelligent energy management. The evolution of energy systems demands real-time analytics, automation, and decentralized power generation to optimize supply and demand. Digitalization enables grid stability, predictive maintenance, and seamless energy transactions, ensuring sustainability and operational efficiency. Tata Power’s partnership with AWS exemplifies this digital-first approach, harnessing cloud computing, artificial intelligence (AI), and IoT to build a smarter, more efficient power ecosystem.
Tata Power has already laid a robust digital foundation by migrating 23 mission-critical applications to AWS using Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS). This shift enhances scalability, security, and real-time operational efficiency across key areas such as power generation, renewables, grid management, sales, and finance. Additionally, the company has adopted a server-less architecture with AWS Step Functions, optimizing energy transactions and grid operations in response to fluctuating demand patterns.
At the core of this transformation are two specialized data lakes dedicated to power generation and renewables, which ingest real-time data from solar farms, wind assets, smart meters, and Industrial IoT devices. Using AWS Glue, Tata Power integrates these vast datasets into Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3), unlocking AI-powered analytics for predictive maintenance, grid optimization, and demand forecasting.
This digital transformation is translating into tangible benefits for both businesses and consumers, making Tata Power a preferred partner of choice for clean and efficient energy solutions. AI-driven insights enable faster outage detection, improved grid stability, and personalized energy recommendations, resulting in cost savings, enhanced reliability, and an accelerated transition to renewables. The modernization effort will pave the way for cutting-edge innovations, including blockchain-based energy trading, AI-powered demand response solutions, and computer vision for asset monitoring.
Tata Power is driving digital transformation across key operational clusters. In Generation and Renewables, AI-driven predictive maintenance, supply chain & procurement efficiency, and real-time analytics are optimizing plant efficiency and maximizing renewable energy output. Grid modernization is being advanced through smart IoT integration, enabling automated grid operations that reduce downtime and improve supply-demand balancing. These innovations have led to unprecedented reduction in AT&C losses and overall operational efficiency across the company’s discoms in Delhi, Odisha and Mumbai.
Consumer-centric solutions such as Home Automation and EaaS leverage personalized energy insights and blockchain-based transactions to empower consumers in managing their energy usage efficiently. Additionally, enterprise and finance digitalization is ensuring operational agility and transparency in energy transactions through cloud-based financial systems.
By integrating a cloud-first digital infrastructure, Tata Power is accelerating India’s clean energy shift while setting a global benchmark for sustainable, data-driven power utilities that keep customer empowerment at their core. This collaboration with AWS marks a significant step in redefining energy management for a net-zero future, reinforcing Tata Power’s leadership in smart and sustainable energy solutions.
