VIJAYAWADA: In view of the rapid increase in India’s energy demand and future energy demands from various sources, the Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) has initiated steps to address the issue and launched stakeholder consultation to amend the existing energy conservation Act. It invited the views of State governments through state-designated agencies and extended an invitation to the AP government to attend the national level stakeholder consultation workshop in Mumbai on August 7.
BEE director general Abhay Bhakre said the sustained efforts of BEE to take energy conservation and energy efficiency measures to the next level would help strengthen designated agencies of State and intensify energy efficiency and energy conservation movement which helps reduce energy intensity on finances apart from environmental protection.
