EESL Mulls Launching LED Scheme in State

Energy Efficiency Services Ltd (EESL), a joint venture of PSUs under the Union Power Ministry, is discussing with the Kerala State Electricity Board (KSEB) the possibility of launching an LED scheme in the state modelled on the successful CFL campaign. EESL MD  Saurabh Kumar told Express on the sidelines of a workshop here that various financial models were being considered, but the essential idea was to make LEDs cheaply available to the public. “We have just completed the distribution of 6.5 lakh LEDs in Pondicherry. A similar scheme will be launched in Andhra Pradesh on October 2,” he said.
