Energy efficiency policies and programs can help drive the implementation of projects that minimize or reduce energy use during operation of a system or machine and production of good and service. It is for improving energy efficiency and helping customers control their energy bills. Innovative business and implementation models can significantly reduce consumption and costs.
Energy Efficiency Services Limited? (EESL)
EESL is and energy service
company of the government of India and is the world’s largest energy service
company. It is 100% government owned a, joint venture of state-owned NTPC
limited, power finance corporation, rural Electrification Corporation and
POWERGIRD. EESL was formed under India’s ministry of power to facilitate energy
efficiency projects. EESL also acts as the resources centre for
capacity building of state electricity distribution companies, electricity
regulatory commissions.
Why it is in news?
The loan will be provided to
ESSL by world bank through its lending arm international bank of reconstruction
and development (IBRD).
World Bank – the world
bank was established was established in 1944 post world war II. It is an

world capital projects. It comprises two institutions: The International Bank
for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD) and the International Development
Association (IDA).
Key Features of the Program- EEP

Benefits
The world bank investment
under this program is expected to avoid lifetime greenhouse gas emission of
170 million tonnes of CO2. It will also contribute to an estimated 10GW
of additional generation capacity.
This will help to achieve 50% of National
Mission for Enhancing Energy Efficiency target of 19.6GW indicated in India’s Nationally
Determined Contribution (NDC) under 2015 Paris Agreement (India has committed
to reduce carbon emission by 33-35% by 2030 under (NDC).
Thus, EEP will certainly help India to
move further towards a more resource-efficient growth. It will help in
tackling financing awareness; technical and capacity barriers faced by new
energy efficiency programs and support India’s flagship comprehensive programme
UJALA Unnat Jyoti by Affordable LEDs for All.
