Notice Title

Implementing Load Forecasting Tool in India's DISCOMs

Notice Description

India's power sector is a key driver of sustainable economic growth and plays a vital role in achieving the country's Net Zero target by 2070. The purpose of this RFQ is to identify a supplier to support the adaptation and implementation of a load forecasting tool, originally developed under UK PACT, for use in Delhi, Gujarat, and Tamil Nadu. The project aims to enhance long-term electricity demand forecasting and strengthen resource adequacy planning at the state level.
