EESL to upscale 100 energy-efficient projects

Energy Efficiency Services (EESL) will invest Rs 150 crore for upscaling 100 energy efficiency projects in different industrial units of various sectors. With the aim to augment the use of energy efficiency solutions in the industry sector, Energy Efficiency Services Limited (EESL), a joint venture under the administration of the Ministry of Power, will invest 150 crore for upscaling 100 energy efficiency projects in different industrial units of various sectors, notified under the PAT (perform achieve and trade) scheme of Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE). This investment will be part of the EESL’s Demonstration of Energy Efficiency Project (DEEP). The project is aimed at implementing innovative energy efficiency technologies and deploying large-scale energy efficiency measures in the industries covered under the PAT scheme. Together with EESL, BEE plans to bolster industries by creating an ecosystem, which not only provides support in meeting their allocated Specific Energy Consumption (SEC) reduction targets under the PAT scheme but also supports market transformation for innovative technologies and brings substantial investment in this endeavour. Under the project, BEE and EESL with their collaborative approach and expertise, aim to deploy eight innovative energy efficiency technologies in PAT industries. For this, 27 demonstrations will be held across the country.
