UEI Alliance

The Alliance’s primary aim is to promote the adoption and interoperability of the Beckn Protocol within the energy field, thereby scaling the Unified Energy Interface (UEI) network. Operating as a think tank, the Alliance focuses on enhancing digital economic transactions between energy platforms, particularly in resource discovery and fulfillment.

Beckn is the open protocol that powers UEI. Just as HTTP enables websites to communicate, Beckn provides the technical language for interoperability across energy systems.UEI is the network. Beckn is the protocol

BECKN

The Unified Energy Interface (UEI) is an open, interoperable network for energy transactions—like UPI for energy—enabling apps and platforms to securely discover and transact without platform lock-in.

UEI

DEG (Digital Energy Grid) is a long-term vision for an open, interoperable energy ecosystem, co-authored by FIDE and the IEA in 2024. It serves as a blueprint for the future—proposing digital IDs, verifiable credentials, open data protocols, and inclusive design, similar to the original UPI concept note for finance.

Our Mission

The UEI Alliance is committed to global development, adoption, and compliance with the Beckn Protocol for energy-related economic transactions between digital platforms.

Short-term Objectives

Support the technical integration of digital platforms with the UEI network by providing expertise.

Support

Engage with energy stakeholders, to enhance outreach efforts and promote network adoption.

Stakeholder Engagement

Conduct pilot programs to demonstrate UEI network's capabilities and potential for innovation.

Pilot Programs

Long-term Objectives

Unify efforts, reduce coordination complexities, and scale the Unified Energy Interface (UEI) network.

Scale & Unify

Ensure the Beckn Protocol remains relevant and adaptable, guiding its technical evolution and governance.

Protocol Evolution

Expand the UEI network to encompass more energy-related services, increasing its reach across industries.

Expand Services

Drive global interoperability by aligning the protocol with international standards, as a common underlying fabric.

Why Do We Need an Alliance?

The benefits of the Beckn Protocol, like expanded markets and inclusive open networks, become tangible only with substantial adoption and scale. For an initiative of this magnitude, the costs of coordination can become prohibitively high when pursued individually. Similar to the cell tower analogy, where shared infrastructure is more cost-effective and efficient than isolated efforts, the UEI Alliance unifies efforts to promote interoperability, reducing duplicated efforts and coordination complexities.
