New Delhi, Dec 12 (KNN) With a view to reaching out to homes, offices and industries including MSMEs with a strong message to influence their energy consumption behaviour, the Ministry of Power is launching an Energy Savers’ Portal on December-14.
The portal is being launched here as a part of the National Energy Conservation day celebrations, according to an official release.
During the event, Minister of State for Power, Coal and New and Renewable Energy, Piyush Goyal will present the National Energy Conservation Awards to industries, buildings and appliance manufacturers who have achieved the best energy performance during the past year and National level Awards to school children for energy conservation painting competitions held across the country.
The new portal is expected to stimulate schoolchildren to start taking energy-conservation action in their homes, schools, and neighbourhoods, reinforced by school-level activities.
The web portal will create mass awareness and outreach among school children across all segments of the society. It will support the spread of a culture of energy efficiency among members of the school community, and help them in carrying out energy-conservation activities themselves, and to engage with their immediate environment including parents, teachers, friends and neighbours.
When the web portal goes live, at-least one school in each state of the country will be connected and directly communicate with the school children / teachers.
Significantly, the portal will enable interaction amongst school children through creation of Energy Clubs; competitions based on Energy Audits and savings in their schools; Essay Competitions, etc.
Children who achieve success in the competitions and tasks would be recognized for their achievement and awarded BUSS-labelled products, and assigned titles that recognize their progressive achievements.
Subsequently, the portal will be developed in vernacular languages so as to maximize outreach among children all over the country. It will eventually connect with approximately 50,000 schools across the country and create mass awareness on the need for energy conservation and energy efficiency.
A category of best performing schools/high-achieving children could be included in the National Energy Conservation Awards in the subsequent years, it said.
Response for National Energy Conservation Awards from the industrial and commercial units this year was very encouraging as is evident from the increasing participation level (from 123 in 1999 to 1010 in 2014).
In the current year award scheme, three new sectors have also been introduced (Universities and Engineering Institution Buildings, Electricity Distribution Companies (DISCOMs) and State Road Transport Corporation and Undertakings).
The Award Committee this year has selected 41 units for First prize, 37 units for Second Prize and 44 units for Certificate of Merit.
Overwhelming response was also received for the National level Awards to school children for energy conservation paintings competitions. (KNN/ES)
