Energy Efficiency Services Limited (EESL) has launched the National Efficient Cooking Program (NECP) and the Energy Efficient Fans Program (EEFP).

This was launched with the aim of achieving independent and sustainable energy consumption.

NECP promotes non-solar/electricity-based induction cookstoves, aligning with the Go-Electric initiative.

EESL aims to distribute 20 lakh induction cookstoves, reducing environmental impact and offering low-cost cooking solutions.

EEFP focuses on deploying one crore 5-star energy-efficient ceiling fans, aiming to reduce residential electricity consumption by nearly 20%.

This also benefits consumers by cost-cutting their electricity bills.

This initiative complements the G20 Energy Transitions Working Group's efforts.

Union Minister for Power and New and Renewable Energy, Shri R. K. Singh, emphasized the strategic shift to electric cooking, highlighting the affordability and benefits for ordinary citizens.

The transition will reduce the reliance on outside sources of energy.

It can reduce the expense of cooking fuel for the ordinary person.

The NCEP and EEFP programs will target promoting efficient, sustainable, safe, and affordable cooking and appliance use.

EESL CEO Shri Vishal Kapoor noted the impact of past initiatives like UJALA and the Street-lighting National Program in reducing energy consumption and cutting CO2 emissions.
