Power ministry launches task force to develop India energy stack platform
The Ministry of Power on Saturday announced the launch of a task force to conceive the India Energy Stack (IES), an initiative aimed at creating a unified, secure, and interoperable digital public infrastructure (DPI) for the energy sector. The IES will play a vital role in integrating renewable energy, enhancing DISCOM efficiency, and delivering transparent, reliable, and future-ready power services, an official statement quoted Power Minister Manohar Lal Khattar as saying. There is an urgent need for developing robust DPI in the power sector to manage the country's rising demand, ensure grid stability, and empower consumers. What Aadhaar did for identity and UPI achieved for digital payments, the India Energy Stack will accomplish for the power sector - unlocking seamless, secure, and consumer-centric energy services for every citizen," he added. As India charts its path to becoming a USD 5 trillion economy and advances towards its net-zero commitments, the power sector faces both unprecedented opportunities and complex challenges, the statement said. Rapid growth in renewable energy, electric vehicles, and consumer participation in energy markets is transforming the sector, but fragmented systems and a lack of seamless digital integration remain key barriers, it pointed out. To address these issues, the ministry is reimagining the sector's digital foundation through the IES - a DPI that will provide a standardised, secure, and open platform to manage, monitor, and innovate across the electricity value chain. The IES will offer unique IDs for consumers, assets, and transactions; real-time, consent-based data sharing; open APIs(Application Programming Interface) for seamless system integration; and tools for consumer empowerment, market access, and innovation. Apart from conceiving the IES, the ministry will undertake a 12-month Proof of Concept (PoC) to demonstrate IES through real-world use cases in partnership with selected utilities. This includes piloting the Utility Intelligence Platform (UIP), a modular, analytics-driven application built on IES to support utilities, policymakers, and consumers with real-time insights and smarter energy management. To guide these initiatives, the ministry has constituted a dedicated task force comprising experts from the technology, power sector, and regulatory domains, which will steer the development, pilot implementation, and nationwide scale-up of the IES.

After 6000 job cuts, Microsoft plans another layoff in July, CEO Satya Nadella says 'If you're going to use...'
After 6000 job cuts, Microsoft plans another layoff in July, CEO Satya Nadella says 'If you're going to use...' Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella is calling on the industry to think seriously about the real impact of artificial intelligence (AI) especially the amount of energy it uses. This comes as AI is quickly changing the tech world. Speaking at Y Combinator's AI Startup School, he said that tech companies need to prove that AI is creating real value for people and society. 'If you're going to use a lot of energy, you need to have a good reason,' Nadella said. 'We can't just burn energy unless we are doing something useful with it.' His comments come as AI is praised for pushing innovation forward, but also criticized for using massive amounts of electricity and possibly making social gaps worse. For Microsoft, one of the biggest companies building AI tools, this is a big concern. A report in 2023 estimated that Microsoft used about 24 terawatt-hours of power in a year. That's as much electricity as a small country uses in the same time. But Nadella believes AI should be judged by how well it helps people in real life. 'The real test of AI,' he said, 'is whether it can make everyday life easier—like improving healthcare, speeding up education, or cutting down on boring paperwork.' He gave the example of hospitals in the U.S., where simple things like discharging a patient can take too long and cost too much. He said if AI is used for this task, it could save time, money, and energy. Microsoft's AI push comes with job losses Even as Microsoft have big plans for AI, the changes have not come without a cost, especially for workers. Over the past year, the company has laid off more than 6,000 employees. Microsoft said these job cuts were part of 'organisational changes' needed to stay strong in a fast-changing business world. That fast-changing world is being shaped by artificial intelligence and cloud computing. Microsoft, working closely with its AI partner OpenAI, is putting AI at the center of its future plans. But as the company shifts toward more automation and AI-driven tools, it's also reorganizing teams, often leading to people losing their jobs. Microsoft is reportedly preparing for another round of job cuts and this time in its Xbox division. The layoffs are expected to be part of a larger corporate reshuffle as the company wraps up its financial year. If these cuts go ahead, it would be Microsoft's fourth major layoff in just 18 months. The company is facing increasing pressure to boost profits, especially after spending USD 69 billion to acquire Activision Blizzard in 2023.
