NECP and EEEP Programme

Recently, Energy Efficiency Services Limited (EESL), a joint venture of public sector undertakings (PSU) under Ministry of Power have launched NCEP and EEFP.

National Efficient Cooking Programme (NECP) – A subset of the Clean Cooking Scheme

It focuses on Non-Solar/Electricity-based Induction Cook stoves, aligning with the Go- electric initiative by the Ministry of Power.

Goal – EESL will deploy 20 Lakh energy-efficient induction cook stoves nationwide to accelerate the acceptance and adoption.

Objectives – To reduce the environmental impact of cooking methods, ensuring cleaner air and improved health for citizens.

To reduce dependence on imported sources for energy and saving costs for users.

Partnership - EESL has partnered with Modern Energy Cooking Services (MECS) for the large-scale deployment.

Energy Efficient Fans Programme (EEFP)

Existing ceiling fans contribute approximately 40% of total residential electricity consumption and over 25% of India's overall electricity usage. Nearly 20% of total residential electricity consumption can be reduced by replacing existing fans with energy efficient ones.

Goal - EESL will distribute 1 crore efficient BLDC fans which was initiated during the G20 Energy Transitions Working Group, 2023.

Objectives

To reduce energy consumption and environmental impact.
To enhance consumer comfort while lowering electricity bills, creating a win-win situation for all.

In 2023, about 44% of our capacity is non-fossil-fuel sources and about 25% in energy terms. By 2030, around 65% of our capacity will be from non-fossil-fuel sources, and in energy terms, it will be around 40% - 45%.
