Challenge	Tata Power, a leading utility provider in India, was faced with the challenge of restoring power to 350,000 households within seconds. The company identified two major challenges in delivering reliable power: unknown theft areas (commercial losses) and improper quantification at the point of occurrence due to lack of real-time data, and operational flexibility with a rigid and evolved grid that was overutilized and had increasing power demand with poor power demand planning. The goal was to develop a robust supply network that could support growth in the customer base, minimize revenue losses, and dramatically reduce restoration times. Read More
