In January 2015, the government had launched the National Programme for light emitting diode (LED)-based home and street lighting. Under this, conventional lamps, which typically use more power, will be replaced by LED lamps that consume 80% less energy.

Last week, the government initiated two more similar schemes: one aimed at replacing inefficient agricultural pumps and the other replacing ceiling fans with more energy-efficient ones.

These will be implemented by Energy Efficiency Services Limited (EESL), a joint venture under the union power ministry that is also undertaking the LED project.

Chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu is likely to unveil the new scheme at the two-day international workshop on 'Energy Efficient Lighting: Urban Experiences and Implementation Practices' to be held in Vijayawada from April 7.

Energy secretary Ajay Jain said the state government had proposed to distribute five more LED bulbs to each of the SC, ST and BC category families in order to improve their living standards by saving on their power bills.
