Energy Efficiency Services limited (EESl), a JV of PSUs under the Ministry of Power, is gearing up to launch energy efficient fans. The Government has launched two schemes namely National Energy Efficient Agriculture Pumps Programme and National Energy Efficient Fan Programme under which the fans will be distributed.
With the usage of these 50 Watts BEE 5 Star rated ceiling fans, it is estimated that consumer’s electricity bills will reduce by about `700-730 per year. Therefore, the cost recovery of purchasing these fans is less than 2 years. These fans are 30 per cent more energy efficient as compared to conventional fans, which range from 75-80 Watts. At present, two energy efficient fans will be provided to each consumer at `60 a month per fan on EMI basis. The EMI amount will be added to the consumers’ electricity bills for two years. This scheme will be available to the consumer on providing a copy of latest electricity bill along with a copy of residence proof at the designated distribution centre. The consumer can also purchase the fan by paying `1250/- upfront.
