This will bring along a massive challenge of building and managing cities and at the same time a significant opportunity to improve the lives of billions of people. More and more countries are working towards creating Smart Cities that leverage internet and communication technologies to elevate the quality of residents' lives and further economic growth. India is one of the fastest and largest growing markets for smart cities due to the initiatives and the use of technology. The Tier 2 metro cities will have the highest growth rate due to the declaration of government initiatives and private investments from the software providers. However, there are a lot of challenges which the government has to face in order to achieve its dream of 100 smart cities in India by 2022. One of the many challenges is coping with the energy requirements that are at all-time high now and are expected to grow even more. A smart city should cater smart energy to its buildings, which can be done through leveraging latest technologies, resulting in high energy efficiency. A smart city should have a robust data system, which collects and analyses data on the energy consumption of the residents.
