Energy Efficiency Services Limited (EESL) launched its Super-Efficient Air Conditioning Programme for residential and institutional consumers in the BSES area.
About:
Objective: With the Super-Efficient Air Conditioning programme, EESL aims to distribute air conditioners that are 40 % more efficient than, but priced comparably with, the 3-star ACs currently available in the market.
Coverage: EESL and BSES will implement a 12-month pilot of the programme in around 25 lakh residential and institutional consumers in South and West Delhi.
Strategy:
BSES Rajdhani Power Limited (BRPL) would assist in aggregating demand and providing local marketing and outreach support to promote energy efficient technologies in the areas it currently services.
EESL will conduct all activities related to source, supply, complaint management and redressal, and fulfilment of warranty obligations for the products.
EESL will mobilise a capital of ₹ 150 crore for the programme while redeeming its investment through upfront payments for the super-efficient ACs from customers.
Funding: EESL’s investment in the programme is partially supported by a grant from the Global Environment Facility (GEF), an independent financing mechanism that was established on the eve of the 1992 Rio Earth Summit to address global environmental issues.
Expected benefits:
EESL expects to discover prices that are 20-30 % less than the retail costs of similar technologies currently available in the market.
Besides promoting energy efficiency, the Super-Efficient AC programme will also help to reduce the peak power demand.
The programme addresses goals of India’s Cooling Action Plan and Hydrochlorofluro carbons Phase Out Management Plan, enabling achievement of India’s targets under the Kigali and Paris Agreements.
