More than 1.5 crore UJAlA lED bulbs have been distributed in Haryana by Energy Efficiency Services limited (EESl) under the Union Ministry of Power in collaboration with Uttar and Dakshin Haryana Bijli Vitran Nigam limited. It is anticipated that this milestone achievement along with energy efficient fans and lED tubelights is leading to energy savings of more than 53.75 lakh units per day, said an official spokesman of Haryana power discoms. He said that under the Ujala scheme, launched in March 2016 in Haryana, consumers were being offered high quality 9W lED bulbs at Rs 70 each, 50W BEE 5-star rated energy efficient fans at Rs 1,110 each and 20W lED Tube lights at Rs 220 each.
UJAlA domestic appliances could be purchased from designated EESl distribution kiosks. EESl provides free of cost replacement for all technical faults for three years for lED bulbs and lED tube lights and gives technical warranty of 2.5 years for energy efficient fans, said he. A total of over 1.5 core lED bulbs, 1.78 lakh lED tubelights and 44,712 energy efficient fans have already been distributed in Haryana, the spokesman said. He further said, it is estimated that through distribution of lED bulbs, tube lights and EES fans, Haryana is currently avoiding over 395 MW peak demand. Further, this is also leading to reduction of about 4,354.67 tonnes of carbon emissions per day.
The Managing Director, EESl, Saurabh Kumar, said, “Government of India’s UJAlA scheme is for benefit of all citizens.
