Work is expected to kick off soon on the preparation of a 'State-specific energy efficiency action plan' (SEEAP) for Kerala as part of a national-level framework on energy efficiency promoted by the Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE).
An important feature of SEEAP is that it will have sector-wise energy efficiency targets that are set in consultation with the State government. The preparation of the action plan gains significance at a time when Kerala is simultaneously battling a coal crisis-induced power shortage and a sharp rise in energy demand in multiple sectors.
