The decision was issued against a petition seeking an extension filed by Pashchimanchal Vidyut Vitran Nigam (PVVNL), which was selected by the Ministry of Power and REC to represent Uttar Pradesh in the nationwide P2P trading initiative.
The pilot operates under the India Energy Stack (IES) framework and enables rooftop solar prosumers to trade surplus electricity with consumers through a digital platform. Phase I covers participants connected to PVVNL in Uttar Pradesh, Tata Power Delhi Distribution (TPDDL), and BSES Rajdhani Power (BRPL).
According to the petition, regular trading commenced in March 2026. Between February and July 2026, the pilot recorded 1,164 executed and settled trades, comprising two trades in February, four in March, 266 in April, 567 in May, 288 in June and 37 in July.
The energy units traded under the pilot were verified through the respective DISCOMs' Meter Data Management (MDM) systems and adjusted directly in consumer electricity bills.
PVVNL stated that the pilot operates as a regulatory sandbox over existing distribution infrastructure without requiring parallel networks or compromising grid safety and utility revenues.
The extension through March 2027 will provide additional time to assess billing mechanisms, interoperability across DISCOMs and consumer participation, supporting the development of a broader regulatory framework for P2P renewable energy trading in India.
