Friends, today in this article we will learn about energy conservation scheme. I am going to give you information about all this in a very good way. So let’s start.
Energy Conservation Plan
Energy conservation plans for the future can be classified into immediate, medium-term, and long-term plans. The various components of these plans are listed below:
The earliest plans
- Optimum utilisation of existing assets.
- Efficiency in production system and reduction in distribution losses.
- Promote R&D, transfer and application of technologies, as well as development of new and renewable energy sources.
Medium term plans
- Demand management through maximum energy conservation, optimum fuel mix, structural changes in the economy, such as using rail instead of road for carrying goods.
- We need to move towards less energy consuming modes of transport. This will be done by improving transport infrastructure such as roads, better design of vehicles, use of CNG and synthetic fuels etc. Similarly, good urban planning will also reduce the demand for energy use in the transport sector.
- There is a need to move from non-renewable to renewable energy sources like solar, wind, biomass energy etc.
Long Term Plans
- Efficient production of energy resources
- Efficient production of coal, oil and natural gases.
- Reduction in natural gas flaring.
- Modifications in energy infrastructure
- Construction of new refineries.
- Construction of urban gas transmission and distribution network.
- Increasing the efficiency of rail transport for coal production.
- Construction of new coal and gas fired power stations.
- Enhancing energy efficiency
- To improve energy efficiency in accordance with national, socio-economic and environmental priorities.
- Promote energy efficiency and emission standards.
- Labelling programmes for adoption of production and energy efficient technologies in large industries.
- Deregulation and privatization of energy sectors
- Reducing cross subsidies on oil products and electricity tariffs.
- Decontrolling coal prices and making natural gas prices competitive.
- Privatisation of oil, coal and power sectors for improved efficiency.
- Investment law to attract foreign investment
- Investment laws to attract power investments.
- Encouraging the private sector to participate in power generation, transmission and distribution.
