Exemption from Climate Change Levy for Good Quality CHP
…Levy (CCL) was introduced by the UK Government in 2001 and is charged on most non-domestic supplies of energy used as fuel for lighting, heating and power. The CCL is designed to promote energy efficiency and encourage investment in energy saving equipment, thereby reducing emissions of greenhouse gases. CHP stations are energy efficient in operation providing very significant fuel savings, and therefore offer cost and efficiency savings over conventional forms of electricity generation and heat supply. Favourable treatment under the CCL legislation is given to a CHP station where it is: registered with the Department for Business, Energy &…

Street Light National Programme
Launched in 2015, the Street Light National Programme aims to replace 35 million inefficient light bulbs used for street lighting in 100 Indian cities. EESL finances the up-front cost, which is recuperated through financial savings from lower electricity bills under a pay-as-you save approach. To date more than 8.9 million light bulbs have been replaced resulting in energy savings of almost 6 TWh/year
