At today's meeting in Delhi at MoUD, we were presented with a concept of near zero energy towns by the Energy Efficiency division of the US. I volunteered that West Bengal would be willing to be considered as a pilot state. I was indeed excited with my background in the WBPDCL just eight weeks ago. I hope to present a concept note soon to MoUD.

Sir, the concept of Near Zero Energy Towns - How it is possible? I am very keen to know the concept behind it.

ReplyDeleteThe idea is to use renewable energy sources, energy efficient buildings and minimise consumption to make a community nearly self-sufficient in its own energy needs...Among other things, I discovered the concept of geo-thermal heat sinks as energy savers for ACs
