The Union Cabinet, chaired by the Prime Minister, approved the signing of an MoU between India and Bhutan to expand cooperation in energy efficiency and conservation measures. The MoU was signed by the Bureau of Energy Efficiency, Ministry of Power, India, and the Department of Energy, Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources, Royal Government of Bhutan.
As part of this MoU, India intends to assist Bhutan in increasing household energy efficiency by promoting the Bureau of Energy Efficiency's star labelling initiative. India's experience would enable building codes tailored to Bhutan's climate conditions. Bhutan hopes to create a pool of energy experts by institutionalising energy auditor training.
The training of retailers would help in the dissemination of energy-efficient products with the consumer audiences regarding savings from star-rated appliances. India aims to support Bhutan's endeavour to develop and implement the Standards and Labelling scheme.
Energy-intensive appliances are the main products that lead to higher consumption in households or commercial establishments. In view of the rapid growth in energy-intensive consumer goods, the demand for electrical energy has been increasing every year. This rising demand can be optimized if the consumers prefer high-efficiency appliances. BEE is spearheading the country's Star-labelling program, which now covers 37 appliances used in daily life.
The MoU has been prepared by the Ministry of Power in consultation with the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) and the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT). It will enable the exchange of Information, data, and technical experts related to Energy Efficiency and energy conservation between India and Bhutan. It will help Bhutan ensure the availability of energy-efficient products in the market. The MoU will analyze energy efficiency policies and cooperation in energy efficiency research and technology deployment.
