'EESL seeks to be a $1.5 bn company1 by 2020'

摘要

A nation's per-capita electricity consumption is one of its biggest indicators of growth and development. The availability of reliable, uninterrupted, and affordable power can ensure holistic growth across various sectors of the economy. At present, India's installed capacity is around 319 GW. However, close to 700 million people across the country don't have access to adequate power supply. Faced with a pressing need to provide uninterrupted energy solutions, the country needs to use its energy as judiciously as possible. Energy efficiency is a key component in the government's bid to help India transform into a clean energy hub without significantly compromising upon its growth objectives. With implementation of various energy efficiency measures in various sectors such as agriculture, municipalities, buildings, domestic, industries a considerable quantum of electricity can be saved.
