Blockchain-based transaction showcases future of decentralised power markets.

UP Farmer Sells Solar Power in Live P2P Energy Trading Demo at India AI Impact Summit.

The India AI Impact Summit 2026 witnessed a milestone moment for India’s power sector with a live demonstration of peer-to-peer (P2P) electricity trading. The demo highlighted how decentralised energy markets can enable individuals to directly buy and sell power using digital infrastructure. During the event, a farmer from Meerut sold six units of surplus solar-generated electricity to a garment shop owner in Delhi. The transaction was executed on a blockchain-enabled platform developed under the India Energy Stack, ensuring secure, transparent, and verifiable energy exchanges for prosumers. The pilot system follows digital public infrastructure principles similar to UPI, using standardised protocols and mobile-linked authentication. Distribution companies from Delhi and western Uttar Pradesh are expected to join the programme’s expansion. Platforms such as Kazam Buzz, PowerXchange, and Viduyt AI are enabling users to monetise surplus rooftop solar energy. Experts say P2P trading could boost renewable adoption, improve grid efficiency, and increase consumer participation, subject to regulatory support and grid readiness.
