An energy management system (EMS) is a network-based system that enables the monitoring and optimization of the energy performance through the control of home or commercial building services such as heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC), lighting and other key consumers of energy. Energy management systems are sub-divided into home energy management systems (HEMS) and building energy management systems (BEMS). HEMS refer to energy saving and monitoring technologies for households.

India as a rural electrification market has enormous potential. According to the 2011 Census of India, 81 million households or close to 400 million people do not have access to electricity as their ‘main source of lighting’. Of these, over 90% residing in rural areas form the biggest rural electrification market segment. In recent years, a strong state commitment has been created to provide electricity for all as demonstrated by national and sub-national policy programs, significant budget outlays and increasing discourse to employ decentralised energy generation technologies for last mile access.
