Ministry of Power and Bureau of Energy Efficiency have been planning and designing energy efficiency programs at the national level. However there is a need to undertake strong and vigorous decentralized programs at the State levels under EC Act 2001. With this in mind, the focus of ECO-III Project since early 2007 has been to develop and implement strategic plans related to the EC Act in Gujarat and Punjab. Considering specific deliverables identified and expected by BEE from State Designated Agencies (SDAs) under the EC Act, the Project worked with Gujarat Energy Development Agency (GEDA) and Punjab Energy Development Agency (PEDA) to formulate plans to initiate and deliver energy efficiency programs and raise the profile of EE activities in the two states.
