The Uttar Pradesh government has pioneered blockchain technology in its rooftop solar power sector, implementing significant amendments to its regulatory framework to enable controlled peer-to-peer (P2P) energy trading, a first in India. By leveraging Powerledger’s blockchain-enabled platform for secure transaction recording and deploying xGrid technology, Uttar Pradesh achieved a remarkable 43% reduction in the energy market buy price compared to retail tariffs. This initiative not only promotes widespread adoption of distributed energy resources but also provides UPPCL with valuable insights into effectively implementing blockchain-based P2P electricity trading. In 2023, the Uttar Pradesh government's Department of Science and Technology approved over 100 research studies on the application of technologies such as artificial intelligence and blockchain in sectors like healthcare and renewable energy. Leading educational institutes including IIT-Kanpur, MNNIT, and KGMU are actively involved in these initiatives.
AB. West Bengal
The West Bengal government is actively integrating blockchain technology into its governance framework. The "West Bengal Blockchain Technology Promotion Guidelines, 2020" outlines a comprehensive plan to leverage blockchain for efficient service delivery to citizens, focusing on both government-to-citizen (G2C) and government-to-government (G2G) services. A key initiative under this plan is the collaboration with Web3 startup Airchains to implement a blockchain-based system for recording and tracking land ownership and mutations in New Town Kolkata, enhancing transparency, security, and efficiency in land management. Additionally, the guidelines propose establishing a hybrid blockchain platform hosted within the state's data center or relevant cloud services, providing a robust infrastructure for future blockchain applications. Although still in the early stages, these efforts underscore West Bengal's commitment to harnessing blockchain technology for improved governance.
