These schemes help them to strengthen distribution network/grid connectivity to achieve 24x7 Power for All and would facilitate uninterrupted power supply to consumers.

………….2.

Government of India also assists the States/UTs by allocating power from Central Generating Stations (CGSs). State can also purchase power through various market mechanisms including power exchanges to meet any gap in demand and supply.

(c) & (d): Energy  Efficiency  Services  Limited  (EESL),  a  joint  venture company  of  Public  Sector  Undertakings  (PSUs)  under  the  Ministry  of Power, is distributing Light Emitting Diode (LED) bulbs under Unnat Jyoti by  Affordable  LEDs  for  All  (UJALA)  to  domestic  consumers  across  the country.  As  on  date,  EESL  has  distributed  over  35.30  crore  LED  bulbs resulting in estimated energy savings of 45.85 billion kWh per year with avoided peak demand of 9,180 MW and estimated GHG emission reduction of 37.13 million tonnes CO2 per year.

In  addition  to  distribution  of  LED  bulbs  under  UJALA,  LED industry has also sold 111.66 crore LED bulbs, till March, 2019.

(e) : Bureau  of  Energy  Efficiency  (BEE)  launched  Standards  & Labelling  (S&L)  program  with  an  objective  of  providing  consumers  an informed  choice  about  the  energy  saving  and  thereby  the  cost  saving potential of the marketed household appliances/equipment. These appliances  are  rated  from  1  star  to  5  star  where  5  star  is  the  most efficient.  This  initiative  is  expected  to  impact  the  energy  savings  in  the medium and long run, while at the same time it will position the domestic industry  to  compete  in  such  markets  where  norms  for  energy  efficiency are mandatory.
