The Energy Efficiency Services Limited (EESL), a JV of PSUs under the Union Ministry of Power, has signed an MoU with Damodar Valley Corporation (DVC) during the India Energy Week 2025 in New Delhi. This partnership aims to advance collaboration in energy efficiency, renewable energy, e-mobility, and resource conservation to support DVC’s decarbonization initiatives.
EESL said that it would be leveraging its technical expertise and innovative business models that would support DVC in executing and implementing various energy efficiency and clean energy programs. This partnership will focus on the implementation of the Street Lights National Program (SLNP), including industrial and solar streetlights.
It will also drive energy efficiency in buildings through the deployment of energy-efficient fans, super-efficient air conditioners, chillers, and industrial lighting solutions. Additionally, it will introduce cutting-edge industrial energy efficiency solutions and expand decentralized solar programs, including solar rooftop installations, solar carports, and solar tree installations. Hybrid thermal solar solutions will also be promoted to enhance energy efficiency.
EESL mentioned that the collaboration aims to accelerate the adoption of electric mobility solutions, including electric cars, electric buses, and electric cycles, alongside the development of EV charging infrastructure. Smart metering solutions will be implemented for improved energy management, and trigeneration projects will be advanced to ensure efficient energy utilisation.
Under the National Motor Replacement Program (NMRP), inefficient motors will be replaced with energy-efficient alternatives, and energy-efficient pumps will be installed to enhance operational efficiency. Comprehensive energy audits will be conducted to identify and implement efficiency measures.
EESL will develop clean energy projects, including energy-efficient green buildings and carbon finance initiatives at various location of DVC. Demand flexibility solutions will be introduced to enhance grid stability through demand-side energy management.
The partnership will also support the deployment of clean cooking solutions for sustainable energy use. Battery energy storage systems will be implemented, focusing on both short-duration (Lithium-ion Phosphate) and long-duration (Zinc Electrolyte) energy storage solutions.
Speaking on the occasion, Chairman of DVC, Suresh Kumar held, “As we move towards achieving our decarbonization goals, this partnership with EESL will play a crucial role in enhancing our energy efficiency measures and deploying clean energy solutions across DVC’s operational areas.”
CEO of EESL, Vishal Kapoor said, “This collaboration marks a significant step in our commitment to drive sustainable energy solutions and accelerate India’s clean energy transition. By partnering with DVC, we aim to implement innovative energy efficiency programs that will contribute towards a greener and more resilient future.”
