BRPL seeks DERC nod to launch behavioural energy efficiency programme

Power distribution company BRPL has sought DERC approval to launch a large-scale energy efficiency programme aimed at saving 1-2 per cent of household electricity consumption through customised home energy reports, officials said on Wednesday. An 18-month pilot project conducted in 2018, covering two lakh consumers in South and West Delhi areas by the BSES Rajdhani Power Limited (BRPL), showed positive outcomes, they added. BRPL, supplying electricity to most parts of the national capital except the Yamuna areas and North Delhi, has sought approval of the Delhi Electricity Regulatory Commission (DERC) to implement the programme.
