What are the key initiatives launched by Energy Efficiency Services Limited (EESL) to promote energy efficiency in India

Energy Efficiency Services Limited (EESL) has launched several key initiatives to promote energy efficiency in India. The two noteworthy programs launched are the National Efficient Cooking Programme (NECP) and the Energy Efficient Fans Programme (EEFP).

• The National Efficient Cooking Programme (NECP) aims to replace traditional cooking appliances, such as inefficient biomass stoves, with cleaner, more energy-efficient alternatives. NECP provides subsidized induction cooktops to households, thereby reducing their energy consumption and emissions.
• The Energy Efficient Fans Programme (EEFP) aims to encourage the use of energy-efficient ceiling fans. Under this initiative, EESL provides high-quality energy-efficient fans at affordable prices to consumers. These fans consume significantly less energy compared to traditional models.

These initiatives have been successful in promoting energy efficiency across the country and have contributed to reducing energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions.
