With an objective to promote energy efficient technologies and appliances, BSES Rajdhani Power Limited (BRPL) and Energy Efficiency Services Limited (EESL) have entered into a strategic partnership to launch a 12-month pilot — ‘Energy Efficient Appliance Programme’.

 A senior BSES official said an agreement to the effect was signed between the BRPL and EESL. Also, a dedicated web portal has been launched through which consumers of BRPL can purchase energy efficient appliances, including the super-efficient air conditioners, he said.

 Through this programme, BRPL consumers would be able to procure several optimally priced energy efficient appliances, including the super efficient air conditioners which are around 40 per cent more efficient than the current 3-star technology.

Besides promoting energy efficiency, the programme will also help to reduce the peak power demand in South and West Delhi, enabling the two organisations to harness synergies to promote energy security and sustainability, the official said.

 Explaining features of the programme, BRPL CEO Amal Sinha said, “BRPL is committed to energy efficiency, adoption of green technologies and smart procurement initiatives that will result in optimised solutions for us and our consumers.

“This programme once again brings together two leaders in their respective domains and the resulting synergies are expected to benefit consumers in a more meaningful way, as also create a road-map for other distribution companies across the country to emulate for bringing about substantial benefits to the nation,” he said.
