Power ministry to track India’s energy security and consumption

Raj Kumar Singh, Hon’ble Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Power and New and Renewable Energy and Hon’ble Minister of State for Skill Development and Entrepreneurship released the State Energy Efficiency Index 2019, which tracks the progress of Energy Efficiency (EE) initiatives in 36 states and union territories based on 97 significant indicators. The index was released on the occasion of Review, Planning and Monitoring (RPM) meeting, which was held on 9-10 January 2020 at Pravasi Bharatiya Kendra, New Delhi.

The index is developed by the Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) in association with Alliance for an Energy Efficient Economy (AEEE). It will help states contribute towards national goals on energy security and climate action by helping drive EE policies and programme implementation at the state and local level, tracking progress in managing the states’ and India’s energy footprint, and institutionalising the data capture and monitoring of EE activities by states.
