An update on ongoing electrification process
In view of the Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi’s
address to nation, on Independence Day, Government of India has decided to
electrify remaining 18,452 un-electrified villages within 1000 days i.e. by 01st May,
2018. The project has been taken on mission mode and strategy for
electrification consists of squeezing the implementation schedule to 12 months
and also dividing village electrification process in 12 Stage milestones with
defined timelines for monitoring.
During 2015-16, 5930 villages have been electrified
till date. Out of remaining 12,522 villages, 8678 villages are to be
electrified through grid, 3355 villages are to be electrified through off- grid
where grid solutions are out of reach due to geographical barriers and 489
villages are to be electrified by State Govt own.
Total 1654 villages were
electrified during April 2015 to 14th Aug 2015 and after taking
initiative by Government of India for taking it on mission mode, 4276
additional villages have been electrified from 15th August 2015 to
28th February. In order to expedite the progress further, a close
monitoring is being done through Gram Vidyut Abhiyanta (GVA) and various
actions are also being taken on regular basis like reviewing the progress
on monthly basis during the RPM meeting, sharing of list
of villages which are at the stage of under energisation with the state Discom,
identifying the villages where milestone progress are delayed.

EESL Reaches Milestone of Distribution of 7 Crore LED Bulbs on Budget
Day
Energy Efficiency Services Limited
(EESL) has distributed over seven crore LED bulbs to the citizens of the
country under the Domestic Efficient Lighting Programme (DELP). The milestone
was achieved on the Budget Day. The scheme, implemented by Energy Efficiency
Services Limited (EESL), under the Ministry of Power, has been adopted by over
2.3 crore people across 11 states in the country.
EESL has taken only 19 days to
distribute the last crore since the six crore milestone was achieved in early
February.
With the distribution of seven crore
LED bulbs, the Government has helped India avoid peak demand of over 2,085 MW
and an estimated energy savings of more than 2.4 crore kWh per day. India has
committed to a significant reduction in carbon emissions and this scheme plays
a pivotal role in achieving it.
The Government stands committed to
achieving the target of changing 77 crore incandescent bulbs in the residential
sector to energy efficient LED by March 2019. The target will lead to an
expected reduction in installed load of 20,000 MW with an annual estimated
savings of over 100 million kWh.
Currently, the Domestic Efficient Lighting Programme
(DELP) scheme is fully operational in Rajasthan, Maharashtra, Karnataka,
Kerala, Uttar Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh, Delhi, Andhra Pradesh, Puducherry,
Jharkhand and Uttrakhand. More states and UTs including Dadra and Nagar Haveli,
Gujarat, Odisha, Madhya Pradesh, Haryana and Bihar will be launching the
national programme shortly.
BACKGROUNDER
The Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi inaugurated the DELP scheme in
January 2015, to be executed across 100 cities. Through this scheme,
residential consumers are provided with high quality LED bulbs given at a
concessional rate of Rs.100-105 as against the market price of Rs 350 to 450.
The DELP scheme has also significantly impacted the market price of LED bulbs,
through a combination of aggregation and transparent procurement. EESL
has been able to procure LED bulbs for Rs 73 as of June 2015 , down from
Rs 310 in February, 2014, a reduction of over 75%.
The target of the DELP is to replace all the 77 crore incandescent bulbs
sold in India by LEDs. This will result in reduction of 20,000 MW load, energy
savings of 100 billion KWh and Green House Gas (GHG) emissions savings of 80
million tons every year. The annual saving in electricity bills of consumers
will be Rs. 40,000 crore, considering average tariff of Rs. 4 per kWh.
DELP
Dashboard:
National DELP Dashboard is an integrated, real-time, and web-based
dashboard which dynamically refreshes at an interval of 15-sec to display in
real-time, number of LEDs distributed at national level. This is achieved by
aggregating real-time feeds from multiple states where DELP is ongoing. The
progress of scheme can be tracked on http://www.delp.in/
MICROSITE:
Through www.iledtheway.in microsite,
consumers can take a pledge of switching to LED bulbs, which are safer,
brighter and consume less energy. The Microsite visitors can join the movement
by simply clicking “Take a Pledge” tab which is prominently displayed on the
homepage.
