New Delhi : Energy Efficiency Services Limited (EESL), a joint venture of four National Public Sector Enterprises under Ministry of Power, Government of India, on February 22, 2019, launched its Super-Efficient Air Conditioning Programme for residential and institutional consumers in the BSES area.

These Super-Efficient Air Conditioners are 40 percent more efficient but priced comparably with the 3-star ACs currently available in the market (ISEER 3.8). EESL is working towards making this programme and its benefits available to all consumers across the nation with the other DISCOMs likely to partner with EESL in future.

Besides promoting energy efficiency, the Super-Efficient AC programme will also help reduce the peak power demand in South and West Delhi by 22MW, enabling the two organisations to harness synergies to promote energy security and sustainability. The programme directly addresses the prospect of the nearly four-fold increase in energy consumption from buildings and cooling appliances in India by 2032, while also addressing 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.

EESL and BSES have joined hands to implement a 12-month pilot of the programme by exchanging an agreement through which 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, thereby covering over 25 lakh residential and institutional consumers in South and West Delhi. EESL will conduct all activities related to source, supply, complaint management and redressal, and fulfilment of warranty obligations for the products.

Addressing the launch event, Saurabh Kumar, Managing Director, EESL stated, “Our UJALA programme gave us the confidence that the Indian consumer is receptive to awareness and demand cultivation efforts for energy efficiency. Through the Super-Efficient AC programme, we are endeavouring to not only redefine standards for efficiency and widen the gamut of energy efficient appliances available to Indian consumers, but to also significantly improve upon our previous efforts to make these technologies universally and conveniently accessible.”

During the event, EESL also launched its e-Commerce website, EESLmart.in, through which customers of BRPL, and of other DISCOMs that partner with EESL in future, can purchase the super-efficient air conditioners, according to a PIB release.
