Central Electricity Authority (CEA), Ministry of Power, Government of India, 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.
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.
