A Path Towards Energy Efficient India-Unnat Jyoti by Affordable LEDs for All (UJALA)
The document discusses India's UJALA program, which aims to replace 770 million incandescent bulbs with LED bulbs. It is implemented by Energy Efficient Services Limited under the Ministry of Power. Key points made include: the program has replaced 770 million bulbs by 2019, saving 100 billion kWh of electricity annually; LED bulbs are 88% more efficient and last 25,000 hours compared to 1,200 hours for incandescent; the program recovers costs from consumers through on-bill financing or from DISCOMs based on energy savings. Future programs could focus on appliances like ACs and TVs which require different financing models than lamps.

Lighting 20% of total electricity consumption in india
5th Jan 2015 Unnat Jyoti by Affordable LEDs for All (UJALA)
Till March 2019 replace 770 million incandescent bulbs with LED
bulbs.
Implementing agency:- Energy efficient service limited (EESL)
under Ministry of Power.

Lighting manufactures association:- Electric Lamp and
Component Manufacturers Association of India
(ElCOMA)
History behind this 770 million number in 2013-14
770 million incandescent bulbs were sold.

Mindset at thetime of launching UJALA
770 million replacement
reduction in load (20000MW)
Energy saving (100 billion kwh every year) saving USD 6.16 billion
per year with average tariff ($0.06 per kWh)
Cost charged by EESL with GST( $1.08) Bulb lifetime (10-15
years) it is less than saving of 1 year
6.
OBJECTIVES:-
1.Less energy consumption DISCOMs to Manage
peak demand.
2. Less customer energy bill less subsidy Burdon on
government.
3.spread awareness about efficient technology
4. Increasing the demand of LED light by aggregating
requirement boost to domestic industry by
economy of scale Make in india.
7.
Customer :- lowfirst cost based
purchase to lifecycle cost
Life cycle cost and subsidy requirement estimate:-
cost of electricity service :- up front cost of equipment (equipment cost ) + cost of
electricity consume by them (operating cost)
Total subsidy requirement for new households:- total no. Of subsidized households
(kWh/yr)* annual electricity consumption * subsidy (Rs/kWh)
Consumer conventional appliances to super efficient appliance reduce electricity
bill and subsidy requirement.
8.
EESL servicemodel
EESL work with DISCOMs through a benefit sharing
approach. EESL procures the LEDs bulbs and provides to
consumers at a rate of $0.154
Upfront investment of EESL charged from consumers by 2
approach :-
1. OBF (on bill finance):- Cost recovery from consumers by
deduction of easy installments of $0.154 (40 % of market
price) every month for 8-12 months. The entire cost of the
LED bulbs, including the awareness, distribution and cost of
capital is recovered from the consumer bills.
9.
2. DISCOMscost recovery :-
The investments of EESL is recovered from the DISCOMs as
annuity over a period of 3-10 years by monetizing the energy
savings that accrue as a result of replacement of incandescent
lamps with LEDs. Each replacement leads to a reduction of
connected load by 53W. The energy savings are monetized
based on the peak procurement cost of DISCOM and is used
to pay back the investment made by EESL under an approval
by the State Electricity Regulatory Commission.

LEDs are88% energy efficient than incandescent
bulbs.
LED lights are 50% energy efficient as compared to
CFLs.
CFLs use about 70% less energy than incandescent
bulbs.
How to measure bulb efficiency: - Lumens per watt
Flux:- (unit= lumens) equal to the amount of light
emitted per second in a unit solid angle of one
steradian from a uniform source of one candela.

This type ofprogram design could be used to reduce the cost of
super efficient devices (air conditioners and televisions).
These appliance are significantly more capital intensive than
LED lamps. These appliance may require repair or
maintenance value chains.
Therefore the super efficient appliance program design needs to
be different than that of UJALA .
For example EESL can provide volume or loan guarantee to
manufactured instead of actual procurement of appliance.
