IT & OT in Power - Conference Overview

Power Sector Transformation

The power sector is becoming increasingly dynamic and decentralised, creating demand for more flexible, efficient and intelligent systems. Utility operations, maintenance strategies and operational processes are evolving rapidly with the adoption of automation, AI-based solutions, digital twins, large language models and data-driven decision-making frameworks.

Distribution Segment & RDSS

In the distribution segment, the Revamped Distribution Sector Scheme (RDSS) is accelerating smart metering, discom modernisation and the digitalisation of utility operations and systems. As of May 2026, more than 62 million smart consumer meters have been installed across India, helping utilities improve billing efficiency, collection performance and loss reduction.

AI, IoT & Smart Grids

The integration of AI into smart grid architecture is enabling utilities to better forecast demand patterns and support distributed energy management. AI tools, analytics platforms and IoT-enabled systems are helping utilities unlock value from AMI data, improve operational visibility and enable more data-driven decision-making.

Transmission Digitalisation

Transmission utilities are increasingly adopting IT systems and digital technologies across project planning, construction, operations and asset management. Technologies such as digital twins, drones, robotics, geospatial tools and dynamic line rating systems are enabling route optimisation, infrastructure inspection, right-of-way management and enhanced transmission capacity utilisation.

Generation Segment Innovation

Power generation companies are transitioning towards automated and digitalised operations using AI- and IoT-based solutions for combustion optimisation, heat rate improvement, fuel management, emissions monitoring and renewable generation forecasting. Centralised monitoring platforms are enabling fleet-wide operational visibility and predictive performance management.

Cybersecurity & Scalability

As digital technologies move from pilot projects to full-scale implementation, greater emphasis is being placed on cybersecurity, interoperability, scalable digital infrastructure and data privacy. Long-term success will depend on effective integration, standardisation and the ability to scale intelligent systems across utility operations.

Years of Industry Leadership

Over the past 25 years, the “IT & OT in Power” conference has served as a premier platform for utilities, technology providers and innovators to exchange ideas, discuss emerging trends and showcase advanced digital technologies transforming the power sector.

Conference Objectives

The 25th edition of the conference will deliberate on the most promising technologies and solutions for the future, examine the application of AI, IoT, digital twins and advanced automation technologies, and showcase utility experiences, implementation strategies and industry best practices shaping the future of the power sector.
