As part of its efforts to reduce energy consumption, the Energy Efficiency Services Limited (EESL), a joint venture of PSUs of the Ministry of Power, has plans to bolster the market towards energy-efficient fans by deploying 10 million brushless direct current motor (BLDC) fans across the country from September.
The strategic initiative of EESL is designed to support the country’s nationally determined contributions (NDC) targets by encouraging widespread adoption of energy-efficient fans benefiting consumers, governments, public and private organisations to save energy, reduce electricity bills and contribute to the country’s sustainable energy management. Energy-efficient fans fitted with BLDC motors and with energy efficiency rating of 3-star and 5-star would be supplied as part of the initiative.
While interacting with State heads of EESL and stakeholders on the significance and impact of energy-efficient appliances, CEO of EESL Vishal Kapoor said the new initiative would help reduce greenhouse gas emissions, combat climate change and would be instrumental in realising the country’s zero-emission goals.
