PFC & NEDO collaborate to promote energy efficient technologies for a sustainable future

Power Finance Corporation Ltd (PFC), India's leading financial institution in the power sector, is pleased to announce a strategic collaboration with New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO), Japan's pioneering agency for promoting environmental, energy and industrial technology innovation. Together, PFC & NEDO aim to disseminate the outcome of the demonstration project on “Micro Sub-station with Power Voltage Transformer”. This project is aimed at realizing environment friendly power supply in the areas with undeveloped distribution network, which is being implemented between Nissin Electric Company Limited (NISSIN) and Tata Power Delhi Distribution Limited (TPDDL). This is in continuation with the partnership entered by PFC on the side lines of G20 summit at Goa in July, 2023 with Asia Transition Finance Study Group (ATFSG).

The collaborative initiative between PFC and NEDO and Japanese stakeholders represents a significant leap towards creating environmentally friendly power supplies in areas with undeveloped distribution networks. This initiative will showcase optimization of energy distribution and consumption through energy efficient technology and sustainable practices. PFC, being the lead institution driving India’s energy transition, this initiative will be another step forward in this direction.
