PM Climate Change Council to discuss energy efficiency mission

New Delhi, Aug 23 (PTI) After setting a target of
generating 20,000 MW solar power by 2020 under the Solar
Mission, the Prime Minister's Council on Climate Change will
take up the National Mission for Enhanced Energy Efficiency
(NMEEE) at its meeting Monday.

The NMEEE, one of the eight national missions under the
National Action Plan on Climate Change, seeks to enhance
energy efficiency, in addition to the programmes on the field
being pursued by the Ministry of Power and the Bureau of
Energy Efficiency (BEE).

The draft outline of NMEEE set out a comprehensive
strategy to create demand for energy efficient products, goods
and services, amend government policies and programmes to
integrate energy efficiency processes and prepare bankable
projects to stimulate the mission.

The strategy also seeks to incentivise cost-effective
improvements in energy efficiency in industries and facilities
and certify energy savings that could be traded.

Ensuring adequate supply of energy efficient products,
goods and services by creating a cadre of energy professionals
by way of bi-annual certification examinations, standards and
labelling of end-use equipment and appliances, preparing
structured programmes to leverage international financing
instruments are also part of the comprehensive strategy. PTI
