CEA organises All-India Electrical Safety awareness programme

Published: Jun 30, 2025

By TIOLCorplaws News Service

NEW DELHI, JUNE 30, 2025: CENTRAL Electricity Authority (CEA) in association with BSES organized the Electrical Safety Day 2025 in New Delhi. Celebration of Electrical Safety Day on 26th June 2025 serves as a powerful reminder of India's commitment to creating a zero-harm electrical ecosystem that evolves in tandem with the country's clean and smart energy ambitions.

This year's theme, "Smart Energy, Safe Nation" underscored the need to embed safety into every facet of India's modernising energy journey-especially in the context of emerging technologies like Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging Infrastructure, and Rooftop Solar. With the increasing electrification and decentralization of power systems, the associated risks have multiplied, making electrical safety a collective imperative.

The event was inaugurated by pad Yesso Naik, Hon'ble Minister of State for Power and New & Renewable Energy, who highlighted the need for robust safety protocols to accompany India's rapid energy transition. He was joined by Pankaj Agarwal, Secretary, Ministry of Power; Ghanshyam Prasad, Chairperson, Central Electricity Authority; Amal Sinha, Director and Group CEO, BSES, who addressed the participants on importance of Electrical Safety

Over 300 delegates from all corners of the energy sector-ranging from utilities and regulatory bodies, State Chief Electrical Inspectorate officers, Resident Welfare Associations (RWAs), OEMs, manufacturers, field technicians, and proactive energy users (prosumers) attended the event in person, while large number of people viewing virtually through a live YouTube webcast, expanding the reach and impact of the day's proceedings. The event crossed 25000 views in 22 hours at national level.

Hon'ble Minister of State for Power and New and Renewable Energy pad Yesso Naik, in his address said, "Electrical Safety Day is a powerful reminder to us as we transition towards a cleaner, smarter, and more digital energy ecosystem, safety must remain at the core of every advancement. Electricity empowers every facet of modern life-from homes and hospitals to industries and mobility-but it must be handled with utmost caution. The Government is committed to building a safe and smart energy future through initiatives like rooftop solar, EV charging infrastructure, battery storage, and digital fault detection. But safety is a shared responsibility, and I urge every citizen, technician, and stakeholder to remain vigilant and responsible. Together, let us build not just a Smart India, but a Safe India "

" Pankaj Agarwal, Secretary, Ministry of Power, said, "Safety in the power sector must be a core value-not just a checklist. As we advance towards smarter, cleaner energy systems, accountability and vigilance become paramount. I believe fostering a proactive safety culture is key to building a reliable and future-ready power ecosystem."

Ghanshyam Prasad, Chairperson, CEA, stated, "Electrical Safety is not just a mandate-it's a mindset. In this era of distributed and smart energy systems, we must ensure that safety remains central to every innovation and every connection. Handle Electricity with care and stay aware"

A major highlight of the event was the launch of "Suraksha Shakti", the official Electrical Safety Mascot, designed to popularise safety awareness in an engaging and relatable manner. Alongside, the first edition of the Electrical Safety Handbook was also released. This joint initiative by CEA and BSES provides clear safety guidelines for the installation and maintenance of BESS, rooftop solar systems, and EV chargers. It outlines critical do's and don'ts for utilities, consumers, prosumers, and technicians, serving as a practical reference for reducing risks like electrical shocks, fires, and accidents.

The post-inaugural session included a series of technical presentations and expert interactions led by CEA, NPTI, BSES and industry leader on Earthing Solutions.

A particularly engaging moment was a ventriloquist act by Satyajit Padhye, built around electrical safety, which helped simplify complex concepts and connect with RWAs and everyday consumers in an accessible format.

Looking ahead, the Electrical Safety Day celebrations will be followed by a week-long campaign featuring safety pledge ceremonies, dissemination of best practices, and increased public outreach. Key outcomes and follow-up actions include the wider rollout of the Suraksha Shakti mascot for awareness campaigns, institutionalizing the Safety Pledge across schools, RWAs, and industries, and continued dissemination of safety protocols and guidelines across India's power sector ecosystem.

This year's Electrical Safety Day marks a pivotal collaboration between policy makers, utilities, and the public, strengthening the foundation of a Smart Energy, Safe Nation. As India builds its green and digital power systems, one principle will continue to anchor this journey - every spark of innovation must be grounded in safety, resilience, and care.
