The latest project, which would improve and ensure efficient use of power, is expected to help consumers plan their consumption and enable them to interact with Bescom, according to Deccan Herald.

An American company has begun the feasibility study, which is being funded by the US Trade Development Authority, for this first-of-its kind project in India.

Bescom is receiving this grant as a part of an agreement between Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and President Barack Obama for co-operation in clean energy and energy efficiency.

This project has got clearance from the Central Power Research Institute, an autonomous society works under Indian power ministry.
