THE  MINISTER  OF  STATE  (INDEPENDENT  CHARGE)  FOR  POWER,  NEW  & RENEWABLE ENERGY AND THE MINISTER OF STATE FOR SKILL DEVELOPMENT & ENTREPRENEURSHIP

( SHRI  R.K. SINGH)

(a) to (c) : Hon'ble  Prime  Minister,  on  5 th   January,  2015  launched  the  Street Lighting  National  Programme  (SLNP)  to  replace  1.34  crore  conventional  street lights  with  energy  efficient  LED  street  lights  by  March,  2019.  SLNP  is  being implemented  by  Energy  Efficiency  Services  Limited  (EESL),  a  joint  venture company of Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs) under the Ministry of Power. This programme is voluntary in nature and runs without any budgetary support from Government of India. The entire investment in supply, installation and maintenance of LED Street Lights is made by EESL. Payment to EESL is made by Urban  Local  Bodies  (ULBs)  from  the  resultant  savings  achieved  in  terms  of reductions in electricity bills and maintenance cost, in respect of the street lights covered under the programme, over a period of seven years.

…………2.

As on date, total 1,502 Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) have signed the implementation  agreement  with  EESL  for  replacement  of  conventional  street lights  with  LED  street  lights.    Out  of  these  ULBs,  installation  work  has  been completed  in  859  ULBs.  Till  date,  EESL  has  installed  over  92  lakh  LED  street lights  in  29  States/UTs. States/UTs  wise details  on implementation of SLNP are given at Annexure-I.

(d) : EESL has conducted the studies on the implementation of SLNP in the states of Himachal Pradesh and Rajasthan. The gist of findings emerging from these studies is at Annexure-II.

(e) : For effective implementation of SLNP as well as for expediting the implementation in remaining States/UTs, as the programme is voluntary in nature, the following steps have been taken by EESL/Government:

- (i) EESL  has  submitted  proposals  for  replacement  of  Conventional  street lights with LED street lights to remaining States/UTs.
- (ii) Letters have been issued by Secretary (Power) to all the Chief Secretaries of  all  the  States/UTs  for  implementation  of  SLNP  Programme  in  their respective states.
- (iii) Real time monitoring is done of performance of the installed Street Lights by Centralised Control and Monitoring System (CCMS).
