Energy Efficiency Services Ltd (EESL) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Coal India Ltd (CIL) for a strategic partnership for energy efficiency and resource conservation for de-carbonisation of CIL and its subsidiaries.
Under this MoU, EESL will support CIL in implementing clean energy and energy efficiency projects under its Integrated Energy Efficiency Service (IEES) model.
The MoU comes on the back of a decision by CIL to undertake energy efficiency measures across all CIL facilities. Under this association, EESL will carry out studies to identify opportunities for CIL to adopt clean energy and energy efficient practices, implement its energy efficiency projects with innovative financial models in a customized approach, monitor the impact of implemented energy efficiency projects and also support CIL and its subsidiaries in training and capacity- building of its plant workers.
Under this MoU, EESL will support CIL in implementing clean energy and energy efficiency projects under its Integrated Energy Efficiency Service (IEES) model. This model includes integration of EESL’s various programmes including Street Lights National Programme; Buildings Energy Efficiency Programme (including super-efficient air-conditioners and centralised chiller system); Decentralised Solar Programme; Trigeneration; National Motor Replacement Programme; Retrofit of Air-conditioning to improve indoor air quality for safety and efficiency (RAISE), National E-mobility Programme; and Smart Meter National Programme.
While EESL will make investments and develop project models on a customized basis, CIL will provide all permissions and statutory clearances. The process will start with energy audits of buildings and facilities under CIL, followed by the implementation of the measures.
