## Overview of Lighting Energy in India

- India – Facts:
- Year 1947 Power Generation was 1362 MW
- Year 2004 Power generation – 100,000 MW
- Electrification of > 500,000 Villages
- Year 2001 – 44% households without Electricity
- Present Per Capita Consumption – 350 wh
- Supply vs. Peak Demand Gap – 39,816 million Units (Peak Demand Gap = 17%)

- ELCOMA

## Demand Side Management 

- Lighting Consumes 18% of Power in India as against 8 – 10% in Developed countries
- 13% of the peak load in Indian power system occurs for 365 hours a year – i.e. one hour per day at dusk
- In 44% households without Electricity, people still use kerosene lanterns which affect their lungs and eyes, besides generating high soot and pollution
- Energy backlog has concerned the government
- Unable to meet Demand / Supply Gap

- ELCOMA

## Short term Solution

**The most effective and practical solutions to achieve immediate relief and reduction in the peak load demand is to replace :**
** ****	****GLS by CFL**
** ****	****40W Fluorescent tube light by 36W (or 28W) FTL**
**	****Electromagnetic ballasts by Electronic ballasts**

**  “ ****A WATT SAVED IS 2.5 WATTS GENERATED”.**

## Why CFL ?

**CFL lamps can easily replace GLS lamps and offer the following benefits :**
** ****	****Relatively small investment per point (Rs.100 - 150)**
** ****	****Easy to install retrofit solution**
** ****	****High luminous efficacy**
** ****	****Saves 80% on electrical energy for same light output when**
**	****          ****compared to GLS lamps**
** ****	****Have longer life (6 – 12 times longer than GLS)**
** ****	****Wide range of shapes, sizes and colours for varied applications**
** ****	****Environment friendly.**

## Barriers to use of CFL

**Affordability**
**Performance**
**Awareness**

- ELCOMA

## Affordability

**CFL lamps cost 8–15 times more than GLS**
**This is down from 20-25 times only 2 years ago**
**Further cost reductions shall accrue with :**
**Volume growth**
**	****  ****-   Concessional sales tax (VAT) of 4%**
**Lower component customs duties (special glass, Tri-band**
**	****fluorescent powder, electronic circuits)**
**Lower excise duties**

- ELCOMA

## Performance

**CHEAP CFL FROM CHINA HAD RUINED THE MARKET AND CUSTOMER HAD LOST CONFIDENCE IN CFL **
**The BIS standard is now in place and specifies the performance criteria**
**Standards have been made mandatory – to be effective 18 months from  24****th**** August 2005**
**Many local manufacturers have BIS approvals for the CFL lamps**
**Performance guarantees offered by manufacturers.**
**Labeling Program initiated by Bureau of Energy Efficiency**
**THE MANDATORY BIS MARKING AND ENERGY LABELLING WILL BUILD CONSUMER CONFIDENCE**

- ELCOMA

## Awareness

**In a survey in India barely 5% knew about CFL (Australia – 80%)**
**Retailers not taking pains to explain to consumers on cost benefits in long term**
**Public Education Program by Government not adequate**
**Industry ads talked only of 80% power saving**

## Government initiative on Energy Conservation

- March 2005: All Central Govt. buildings to be renovated with energy efficient lighting – to start with Rashtrapati Bhavan, PM’s house
- June 2005: Chandigarh Government Directive to all Government Buildings to convert with Energy Efficient lighting
- Workshop on 6th August at Delhi on Energy Efficiency in Lighting, attended by Senior Utility Staff, CFL mfrs.,  Regulatory Commissions, Govt. officials, Central / State PWD, Municipalities, Financial Agencies, DSM Lighting Experts, Consultants etc
- Seminar on Efficient Lighting at Nagpur 12-16 Sept 2005
- PWD Workshop at Mumbai 20th Sept
- BEE Education Programs – Children Painting Contest, Best Energy Efficient Building Awards

- ELCOMA

## Industry Initiative

**Regular price reduction**
**One year warranty**
**Exhibitions & Seminars**
**Support to BIS and BEE**
**Regular interaction with Government**
**Consumer Education Program**
**Press**
**Handbills**
**Exhibitions / Seminars**

- ELCOMA

## Agenda for participants

**Educate large Electricity Users on energy efficient lighting**
**Initiative to start with own buildings and installations**
**Involve Utilities and Users at the same platform**
**Short Term solution to convert GLS points by CFL**
**Initiate BESCOM like projects**

- ELCOMA

## Agenda       contd..

**Conduct local audit of energy consumption**
**Work out plans for immediate replacements of GLS points with CFL or FTL**
**Carry out educational programs in local areas through Power Supply utilities (Message in the Electricity bill)**
**Organize long term payment schemes for consumers like BESCOM, through local suppliers or Power Finance Corporation**
