Energy Efficiency Services Limited (EESL) and the Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI) have announced the launch of the Asia Low Carbon Buildings Transition (ALCBT) project in India.
This strategic venture aims to address the rising peak electricity demand in India, particularly driven by the increasing need for cooling solutions. As a part of the International Climate Initiative, the project is being funded by the German government, through its Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action. The project will be executed in three Indian states. One crucial aspect of implementing the ALCBT project involves evaluating 200 new and 200 old buildings in Kerala, 200 new and 400 old buildings in Haryana, and 200 new and 400 old buildings in Uttar Pradesh. Moreover, each of the three states will witness the installation of 20 retrofits for energy-efficient cooling. The Haryana Renewable Energy Development Agency, the Department of Environment, Forest and Climate Change, and the Energy Management Center are actively assisting the execution of this project in their respective regions.
