Fans are also amongst the leading contributors to electricity consumption. At EESL, our endeavor is to ensure easy and affordable access to energy efficiency solutions. We now aim to procure/ distribute energy-efficient fans that consume 60 per cent less energy than conventional fans and make them affordable and accessible to every household. Switching to these fans will help in securing an energy-conscious and sustainable future for all,” said Venkatesh Dwivedi, Group Executive Director, EESL.</p>.<p>Bishal Thapa, Senior Director – India, CLASP, pointed out, “Fans are a critical cooling appliance for millions across India and around the world. Replacing all of India's residential ceiling fans with super-efficient models can save a remarkable 15 per cent of residential power consumption annually. Energy efficient fans have the potential to increase access, reduce energy use as well as carbon emissions."</p>.<p>Meanwhile, Milind Deore, Secretary, the Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE), said, “The demand for cooling is expected to surge with the rising temperatures. This in turn will increase the burden on power generation and transmission systems. Adoption of energy-efficient fans is crucial for improving indoor comfort, lowering costs, reducing peak demand, and driving environmental sustainability. EESL’s energy-efficient fans thus hold multiple benefits for individuals, communities, and the nation as a whole."</p>
