NEW DELHI: The Energy Efficiency and Renewable Management Centre of Delhi Transco Limited in association with The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI) launched a "Delhi Energy Efficiency Programme" for residents of Vikaspuri, Indraprastha Extension and Rohini over the weekend.

Delhi's Principal Secretary (Power) Rakesh Mehta launched the programme in the presence of Residents' Welfare Association representatives and participating officials of DTL, TERI and discoms.

The programme's objective is to conduct a survey of electricity consumers in these areas to get information about the present ownership and usage pattern of electrical appliances and penetration of energy efficient appliances.

The programme is aimed at assessing the willingness on the part of consumers to shift from existing appliances to more energy efficient ones. It also intends to get an estimate of the kind of incentives required to induce them to shift to more efficient appliances and to off-peak timings.

Target respondents

The target respondents will include adult members having complete knowledge about the different electrical appliances in the house. They should be willing to share information including their identity. In case of commercial and industrial establishments, the respondent will include the staff controlling and maintaining the electrical system.

The comprehensive survey would cover all societies, schools and hospitals in I.P. Extension, besides Mother Dairy Plant.

Electricity consumers in Vikaspuri's H, H-1, H-2 and H-3 Blocks, schools and hospitals, besides commercial establishment would also be covered by the survey.
