Around 3,000 government buildings in Maharashtra will become green with a proposal to retrofit lighting and cooling appliances with energy efficient ones, an official said here on Tuesday. An agreement to this effect was signed between Energy Efficiency Services Ltd (EESL) and the state government which would be implemented under a joint venture by the Union Ministry of Power. EESL would install around 26,500 energy efficient air-conditioners, 1.1 million LED lights, and 250,000 ceiling fans resulting in about 120 million unit savings or around 48 per cent reduction from baseline consumption.
