Overview of Lighting Energy in India

India – Facts:
 Year 1947 Power Generation was 1362 MW
 Year 2004 Power generation – 100,000 MW
 Electrification of > 500,000 Villages
 Year 2001 – 44% households without
Electricity
 Present Per Capita Consumption – 350 wh
 Supply vs. Peak Demand Gap – 39,816
million Units (Peak Demand Gap = 17%)

3
ELCOMA
Demand Side Management
 Lighting Consumes 18% of Power in India as
against 8 – 10% in Developed countries
 13% of the peak load in Indian power system occurs
for 365 hours a year – i.e. one hour per day at dusk
 In 44% households without Electricity, people still
use kerosene lanterns which affect their lungs and
eyes, besides generating high soot and pollution
 Energy backlog has concerned the government
 Unable to meet Demand / Supply Gap

 Short term Solution
• The most effective and practical solutions to achieve

immediate relief and reduction in the peak load demand is to

replace :

 GLS by CFL

 40W Fluorescent tube light by 36W (or 28W) FTL

 Electromagnetic ballasts by Electronic ballasts

“ A WATT SAVED IS 2.5 WATTS GENERATED”.

Why CFL ?
CFL lamps can easily replace GLS lamps and offer the following
benefits :
 Relatively small investment per point (Rs.100 - 150)
 Easy to install retrofit solution
 High luminous efficacy
 Saves 80% on electrical energy for same light output when
compared to GLS lamps
 Have longer life (6 – 12 times longer than GLS)
 Wide range of shapes, sizes and colours for varied
applications
 Environment friendly.

Cost Benefit Analysis for using Retrofit CFL

Savings in Electronic Retrofit CFL over a lifetime of 6000 burning hours

1 Electronic Retrofit CFL 20W 15W 11W

2 Replaces GLS 100W 75W 60W
3 Savings in Electricity
consumption over 6000 hours 480KWH 360KWH 294KWH
(2-1) x 6000
1000
4 Savings in electricity bills per
lamp @Rs.3.50 per KWH Rs.1680 Rs.1260 Rs.1029
5 Cost of Electronic Retrofit CFL Rs.150 Rs.100 Rs.100
6 Cost of 6 GLS lamps Rs.66 Rs.66 Rs.66
7 Net savings per GLS point Rs.1596 Rs1226 Rs.995
(4-5+6)

Conversion of 1 million GLS lamps of 100W to CFL of 20W

reduces 80MW in peak load

Barriers to use of CFL
 Affordability
 Performance
 Awareness

8
ELCOMA
Affordability
• CFL lamps cost 8–15 times more than GLS
• This is down from 20-25 times only 2 years ago
• Further cost reductions shall accrue with :
- Volume growth
- Concessional sales tax (VAT) of 4%
- Lower component customs duties (special glass, Tri-
band
fluorescent powder, electronic circuits)
- Lower excise duties

MANUFACTURERS HAVE ALREADY REDUCED PRICE OF

CFL OVER THE LAST TWO YEARS AND CAN MAKE THE
LAMPS MORE AFFORDABLE WITH GOVT. SUPPORT

Performance
CHEAP CFL FROM CHINA HAD RUINED THE MARKET AND
CUSTOMER HAD LOST CONFIDENCE IN CFL

• The BIS standard is now in place and specifies the

performance criteria
• Standards have been made mandatory – to be effective 18
months from 24th August 2005
• Many local manufacturers have BIS approvals for the CFL
lamps
• Performance guarantees offered by manufacturers.
• Labeling Program initiated by Bureau of Energy Efficiency

THE MANDATORY BIS MARKING AND ENERGY LABELLING

WILL BUILD CONSUMER CONFIDENCE

ELCOMA
Awareness
 In a survey in India barely 5% knew
about CFL (Australia – 80%)
 Retailers not taking pains to explain to
consumers on cost benefits in long term
 Public Education Program by
Government not adequate
 Industry ads talked only of 80% power
saving

 Government initiative on Energy
Conservation
 March 2005: All Central Govt. buildings to be renovated
with energy efficient lighting – to start with Rashtrapati
Bhavan, PM’s house
 June 2005: Chandigarh Government Directive to all
Government Buildings to convert with Energy Efficient
lighting
 Workshop on 6th August at Delhi on Energy Efficiency in
Lighting, attended by Senior Utility Staff, CFL mfrs.,
Regulatory Commissions, Govt. officials, Central / State
PWD, Municipalities, Financial Agencies, DSM Lighting
Experts, Consultants etc
 Seminar on Efficient Lighting at Nagpur 12-16 Sept 2005
 PWD Workshop at Mumbai 20th Sept
 BEE Education Programs – Children Painting Contest,
Best Energy Efficient Building Awards

Industry Initiative

 Regular price reduction

 One year warranty
 Exhibitions & Seminars
 Support to BIS and BEE
 Regular interaction with Government
 Consumer Education Program
– Press
– Handbills

13
ELCOMA
Agenda for participants
 Educate large Electricity Users on
energy efficient lighting
 Initiative to start with own buildings
and installations
 Involve Utilities and Users at the same
platform
 Short Term solution to convert GLS
points by CFL
 Initiate BESCOM like projects

14
ELCOMA
Agenda contd..

 Conduct local audit of energy consumption

 Work out plans for immediate replacements
of GLS points with CFL or FTL
 Carry out educational programs in local areas
through Power Supply utilities (Message in
the Electricity bill)
 Organize long term payment schemes for
consumers like BESCOM, through local
suppliers or Power Finance Corporation
