National Energy Efficiency and Conservation Authority

National Energy Conservation Centre (ENERCON) has now been tranformed into National Energy Efficiency & Conservation Authority (NEECA).Inorder to achieve the challenging task of energy efficiency and conservation in all sectors of economy, a need was felt to introduce credible law which has now been provided through the National Energy Efficiency and Conservation Act 2016 recently passed by the National Assembly and the Senate and as notified in the gazette in July 2016. The Act shall provide for the establishment of institutions and enunciation of mechanisms and procedures so as to provide for effective conservation and efficient use of energy in all sectors of the economy.

The strategy going to be adopted by NEECA for promoting energy efficiency and conservation shall cover whole spectrum of activities starting from identification of energy efficiency and conservation opportunities and including technology demonstration, undertaking pilot projects, information and outreach, training and education, and development of plans and policies for promoting mitigation, energy efficiency and conservation best practices.
