India : Demand-Side Energy Efficiency Sector Project
The Asian Development Bank (ADB) will provide a loan to Energy Efficiency Services Limited (EESL), to be guaranteed by the Government of India, to support demand-side energy efficiency investments in several Indian states. EESL was set up as a government-owned energy services company (ESCO) to facilitate energy efficiency investments, including work designing, implementing, monitoring and investing in energy efficiency projects. ADB's loan will cover high-priority areas under EESL's ESCO business namely through use of: (i) more efficient light-emitting diode (LED) municipal street lighting equipped with remote operating technology; (ii) more efficient domestic lighting through replacement of incandescent lights with LEDs; and (iii) more energy efficient agricultural water pumps. EESL estimates that energy savings of 80% can be achieved in the domestic lighting programs and 30% can be achieved with more efficient pumps.

| Description | The Asian Development Bank (ADB) will provide a loan to Energy Efficiency Services Limited (EESL), to be guaranteed by the Government of India, to support demand-side energy efficiency investments in several Indian states. EESL was set up as a government-owned energy services company (ESCO) to facilitate energy efficiency investments, including work designing, implementing, monitoring and investing in energy efficiency projects. ADB's loan will cover high-priority areas under EESL's ESCO business namely through use of: (i) more efficient light-emitting diode (LED) municipal street lighting equipped with remote operating technology; (ii) more efficient domestic lighting through replacement of incandescent lights with LEDs; and (iii) more energy efficient agricultural water pumps. EESL estimates that energy savings of 80% can be achieved in the domestic lighting programs and 30% can be achieved with more efficient pumps. Savings will result in lower electricity bills for consumers, peak power shaving, and reduced commercial losses for distribution companies. The project will also demonstrate the potential for energy efficiency achievements and scalability of the ESCO model for realizing energy savings in India. | ||||||||
| Project Rationale and Linkage to Country/Regional Strategy | The government has determined that increased end-use efficiency is critical to contain energy demand without jeopardizing growth. In 2015, the government pledged to reduce the energy intensity of its economy by 33%-35% below 2005 levels by 2030. A recent ADB report suggested that achieving an intermediate target of 20%-25% energy intensity reduction by 2022 will require investing approximately $68 billion in efficiency measures. But realizing the potential of energy efficiency in India faces several barriers: (i) regulatory challenges as electricity is subsidized and energy efficiency programs are voluntary; (ii) institutional challenges as capacity to support needed scaling of energy efficiency is limited; (iii) financing the up-front costs can be high for energy efficiency technologies, but project sizes are small from a lender's perspective, and returns may be difficult to analyze; and (iv) limited understanding of energy efficiency technologies and associated benefits limit the uptake. | ||||||||
| Impact | Market for energy-efficient technologies expanded (National Mission for Enhanced Energy Efficiency) Emissions intensity of economy reduced (India''s intended nationally determined contribution to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change) |

| Project Outcome | |
|---|---|
| Description of Outcome | End-use energy efficiency in project areas increased |
| Progress Toward Outcome | The outcome has been achieved. |
| Implementation Progress | |
| Description of Project Outputs | Efficiency of street lighting in one or more municipalities in eligible states (including Goa, Maharashtra, Rajasthan, and Telangana) enhanced Efficiency of electric bulbs, fans, motors, air conditioners and chargers for electric vehicles in utility service areas in eligible states (including Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Rajasthan, and Uttar Pradesh) enhanced Pilot subprojects covering energy efficiency technologies new to the Indian market completed |
| Status of Implementation Progress (Outputs, Activities, and Issues) | All outputs have been achieved. Output1: 4.41 million energy efficient streetlights have been installed.(Achieved). Output 2: 69.6 million LED lamps, ceiling fans and LED tube lights, air conditioners, electric motors and chargers for electric vehicles installed (Achieved). Output 3: four subprojects have been implemented (Achieved). |
