Watt-A-Pitch – Online Idea Pitching Competition for IEEE PES Student Members

As part of PES Day 2025 celebrations, the IEEE PES Kerala Chapter proudly hosted Watt-A-Pitch, a unique online idea pitching competition held exclusively for IEEE PES Student Members. The competition, conducted over a 48-hour period through online submissions, provided a dynamic platform for students to propose innovative ideas under the theme: “Clean Energy, Smarter Grids, Better Lives.”

Designed to be simple yet impactful, the format required no live sessions or presentations — participants were invited to pitch their ideas by submitting through an online form. The competition encouraged a wide range of concepts, from renewable energy solutions to next-generation smart grid systems, focusing on creativity, feasibility, and potential impact.

The event witnessed enthusiastic participation from across the section, with students showcasing forward-thinking solutions to current energy challenges. Winners received recognition in the form of e-certificates, and the first-place winner was awarded a cash prize worth ₹3000 along with an e-certificate.

Watt-A-Pitch not only nurtured innovation and critical thinking but also reflected the spirit of IEEE PES — empowering young minds to contribute meaningfully toward a sustainable and smarter energy future.
