NEW DELHI: A farmer in Uttar Pradesh sold solar power directly to a shopkeeper in Delhi Wednesday, marking the rollout of India’s peer-to-peer (P) electricity trading programme at the India AI Impact Summit 2026 at Bharat Mandapam, reports Atul Mathur. During a session, the farmer from Meerut used a secure, blockchain-enabled platform to sell surplus electricity to a garment shopowner in the capital. He sold six units of solar power and earned Rs 30. Officials said demonstrations of the P energy trading system were conducted during the summit. Union power minister Manohar Lal Khattar visited the Rural Electrification Corporation (REC) Pavilion and interacted with technology service providers. REC officials said a demo of P energy trading had earlier been presented to PM Narendra Modi during his visit to MeitY Pavilion on Feb 16.
