Model Energy Efficient Village Campaign is being proposed wherein a village comprising of 200 – 250 households will be converted to energy efficient village by replacing existing inefficient equipment with star labelled appliances which may include water pumps, super-efficient fans, gas stoves, diesel generators, water heaters, street lights and household lighting. While two to three villages in each state are likely to be covered under this campaign, more villages are likely to be benefitted with legislators push for similar interventions through other resources to showcase the effectiveness of energy efficient device / technology in villages falling under their constituencies. The financial support provided for Energy Efficient Village Campaign will include establishment of the baseline energy consumption, replacement of the existing fixtures with energy efficient ones, measurement and verification and display boards to highlight the effectiveness of the energy efficient technology.
