Jun-18-2021

Power and Renewable Energy Minister R K Singh has said for implementation of the Roadmap on Energy Efficiency and low carbon technologies, a committee will be set up having members from all relevant Ministries. He said a concerted push for renewables is already underway and a detailed action plan will be developed to identify potential areas.

Singh said that a committee/group will be set up having members from all relevant Ministries for implementation of the Roadmap on Energy Efficiency and low carbon technologies. He directed to keep focus on sectors with highest emissions intensity such as Transport, Micro, Small & Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) and Power plants. He also discussed the activities defined under the Mission document ‘ROSHANEE’ which has been developed for implementing a series of Energy Conservation schemes across the country.

The minister advised the Ministries to take appropriate measures on the demand-side initiatives to ensure that the wastage of energy is minimized and said that the deployment of low carbon technologies need to be taken up on a massive scale, especially in the MSMEs, where it is highly essential. He instructed all the departments that Electric Mobility also should be more aggressively pushed. He stressed that for better implementation of all energy efficiency schemes, the institutional mechanism in Bureau of Energy Efficiency, CPSU under Ministry of Power would be strengthened.

Mission ROSHANEE envisages various activities in the field of energy efficiency across all the sectors of the economy with the objective of reducing CO2 emissions by more than 550 million tonnes in the country by 2030 whereas UNNATEE is a working document, having short term and long-term action plans for lowering energy intensity.
