Electricity Supply Monitoring Initiative

Low voltage, frequent interruptions, and load shedding is a concern for electricity consumers in India. This may require them to invest in alternative power sources and voltage stabilizers or suffer the loss of productivity and inconvenience. Moreover, reliable data about supply quality is often missing, which hampers consumers’ ability to hold distribution companies accountable.

Prayas has developed a technology-driven approach to monitor supply quality provided by electricity companies. Through this initiative, supply quality in various urban and rural areas across the country can be easily viewed on the website. MORSEL is providing support to deploy and monitoring of ESMs in five districts of Uttar Pradesh.
