India – a global player in energy efficiency

EESL is a central player in the Indian energy efficiency market. It is best known for its LED programme, UJALA, which has distributed more than 270 million LEDs across India. In November I made my first ever visit to India to speak at the INSPIRE event. IED production in India has grown from 5m units in 2013 to 600 million units in 2017, creating 185,000 jobs in 2016/17. The vision is to unlock the $11 billion market for energy efficiency, amounting to 15% of present consumption. The data in this blog has mainly been taken from from the EESL coffee table book: U JALA. I LED the way. To further information regarding INSPire 2017, click here and AEEE for the opportunity to present here and IED papers can be found here and here and to visit theINSPIRE 2017 event in Jaipur, India.
