PROGRAMME OVERVIEW

Energy efficiency is critical to climate action, cost reduction, and sustainability. Recognising its importance, the Government of India has introduced key initiatives such as the Energy Conservation Act (2001) and the National Action Plan on Climate Change (NAPCC). These policies position energy efficiency as a vital strategy for reducing fossil fuel dependence and optimising energy use across industries, buildings, and infrastructure. However, securing adequate financing remains a significant challenge in scaling up energy efficiency projects.

 This programme equips professionals with the knowledge and skills to develop, assess, and finance energy efficiency projects effectively. Participants will gain insights into financing mechanisms, risk assessment, and policy frameworks that support energy efficiency investments. The programme will cover key financial instruments, including ESCOs and other energy efficiency (EE) financing models, through interactive sessions, case studies, and financial modelling exercises.

 By bridging the gap between technical expertise and financial viability, this programme empowers professionals to drive investment in energy efficiency and contribute to national and global sustainability goals.
