Central Electricity Authority organises Electrical Safety Day to promote safe and smart energy practices
New Delhi: The Central Electricity Authority, under the aegis of Union Ministry of Power, recently organised the 'Electrical Safety Day – 2025' in collaboration with power distribution companies of BSES.
The Electrical Safety Day served as a reminder of India's commitment to creating a zero-harm electrical ecosystem that evolves in tandem with the country's clean and smart energy ambitions. The event was held in New Delhi.
This year's theme, 'Smart Energy, Safe Nation', underscored the need to embed safety into every facet of India's modernising energy journey, especially in the context of emerging technologies like Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure, and Rooftop Solar. With the increasing electrification and decentralisation of power systems, the associated risks have multiplied, making electrical safety a collective imperative.
The event was inaugurated by Union Minister of State for Power and New & Renewable Energy, Shripad Yesso Naik.

Anil Ambani (File) Anil Ambani takes massive leap: In a significant development for Mukesh Ambani's brother, Anil Ambani, Anil Ambani's Reliance Power Ltd is reportedly planning to set up a 1,500-MW gas-based power project overseas. Reliance Power is actively participating in several international tenders for its development and as per media report, Reliance Power has submitted competitive bids for gas-based power projects in Kuwait, UAE, and Malaysia as part of its selective global expansion strategy. Here are all the details you need to know about Anil Ambani's Reliance Power Ltd. What is Reliance Power planning? As per a report by PTI news agency, Anil Ambani's company has recently secured two mega power projects in Bhutan – a 500-MW solar project and a 770-MW hydropower project. As a part of the project, Reliance Power plans to relocate two 750 MW modules of world-class equipment currently in its possession in India. The PTI report also says that through the proposed project, the company aims to realise up to Rs 2,000 crore through the monetisation of these assets. Where are the Global projects of Reliance Power? The report mentions that the demand for gas-based power – widely regarded as a clean energy source – is significantly high in countries such as Kuwait, the UAE, and Malaysia. However, global suppliers like GE typically require 3 to 5 years to deliver equipment for gas or LNG-based power plants and in comparison, Anil Ambani's Reliance Power has 1,500 MW of equipment readily available, which helps it to execute such projects in the shortest possible timeframe, giving it a major edge over other global giants. How Reliance Power is focusing on renewable and clean energy! It should be noted that Reliance Power is actively focusing on renewable and clean energy. The company has a strong development pipeline, including 2.5 GWp of utility-scale solar projects and more than 2.5 GWh of Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS). (With inputs from agencies)

Reliance Power participates in global bids for 1,500-MW energy project
Anil Ambani's Reliance Power Ltd is planning to set up a 1,500-MW gas-based power project overseas and is actively participating in several international tenders for its development, according to sources. Sources said, Reliance Power has submitted competitive bids for gas-based power projects in Kuwait, UAE, and Malaysia as part of its selective global expansion strategy. The company has recently secured two mega power projects in Bhutan - a 500-MW solar project and a 770-MW hydropower project. Based on the outcome of the ongoing international bids, Reliance Power plans to relocate two 750 MW modules of world-class equipment currently in its possession in India. The proposed project is expected to create significant value in Reliance Power's balance sheet, as the company aims to realise up to Rs 2,000 crore through the monetisation of these assets. When contacted, a Reliance Power spokesperson confirmed the company's participation in global tenders. Originally, the company had imported three modules of 750 MW world class equipment from General Electric, USA, for a gas-based combined cycle power project, out of which one module was exported to Bangladesh for an LNG based power project in partnership with Japan's JERA. Now, Reliance Power intends to deploy the remaining two modules for a similar project at an overseas location. The demand for gas-based power - widely regarded as a clean energy source - is significantly high in countries such as Kuwait, the UAE, and Malaysia. However, global suppliers like GE typically require 3 to 5 years to deliver equipment for gas or LNG-based power plants. In contrast, Reliance Power has 1,500 MW of equipment readily available, enabling it to execute such projects in the shortest possible timeframe. Reliance Power is actively focusing on renewable and clean energy. The company has a strong development pipeline, including 2.5 GWp of utility-scale solar projects and more than 2.5 GWh of Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS). This positions Reliance Power as the largest private sector player in the integrated solar + BESS segment in India. Reliance Power has also entered into a joint venture with the Bhutan Government's Druk Holding & Investments (DHI) for the development of a 500 -MW solar project and a 770-MW hydropower project in Bhutan. This marks the largest foreign direct investment by an Indian private company in Bhutan's renewable energy sector.
