Finance Ministry issues guidelines; All Central Government offices to retrofit energy efficient appliances

Department of Expenditure decides Energy Efficiency Services Limited to execute work on nomination basis

EESL’s Buildings Energy Efficiency Programme to bring in 1000 crore investment covering 10,000 large government/private buildings by 2020

Considering the fact that majority of the government buildings are old constructions and, therefore, consume large amount of energy, the Ministry of Finance has issued guidelines for mandatory installation of energy efficient appliances in all Central Government buildings across India.

The Ministry, in a statement, has directed that usage of LED based lightings and energy efficient cooling equipment such as fans and air conditioners in government buildings will lead to savings in the long run through reduction in energy consumption. To implement this, Department of Expenditure under Ministry of Finance has decided to take up services of Energy Efficiency Services Limited (EESL), a joint venture of PSUs under the Ministry of Power, on nomination basis to assist various ministries and departments to retrofit energy efficient appliances in all their premises across the country.

Currently, EESL is the implementation agency for the Buildings Energy Efficiency Programme, which was launched in May 2017 by Minister of State (IC) FOR Power , Coal , Mines & New & Renewable Energy , Shri Piyush Goyal. Under the programme, EESL intends to bring in investment of around 1000 crore covering more than 10,000 large government/private buildings by 2020. It is estimated that about one crore LED lights, 15 lakh energy efficient ceiling fans, and 1.5 lakh energy efficient ACs will be retrofitted by EESL in these buildings. Apart from retrofitting, EESL also aims to widen its services in areas like centralized AC system, Energy Audits, and New Generation Energy Management System in buildings.

The Buildings Energy Efficiency Programme has two business models: a) The ESCO (Energy Servicing Company) model, where the entire upfront investment is made by EESL, which is paid back by the building owner out of the resulting energy savings from the intervention, and b) The PMC (Project Management Consultancy) model, where EESL is the project management consultant for implementing the project for the client. The client invests the entire project cost and bears one-time PMC charges of EESL.

With the Buildings Programme, EESL aims to enhance the savings portfolio and ensure energy security for each citizen. EESL has already retrofitted energy efficient appliances in prominent Government buildings such as NITI Aayog, Nirman Bhawan, Sardar Patel Bhawan, Shastri Bhawan, J&K Assembly, Jammu Secretariat, Vidyut Bhawan, and Rajiv Chowk Metro station where energy efficient LED lights, energy efficient ceiling fans, and energy efficient air conditioners have been retrofitted. EESL has so far installed about 94,000 LED lights, 3,000 energy efficient air conditioners, and over 400 energy efficient ceiling fans in these buildings. At present, the savings through 28 completed building projects across seven states are estimated to be over 11.03 MU, which is bound to increase with each completed project.

The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi on 5th January, 2015 had launched the National LED Programme, to facilitate rapid adoption of LED based home and street lighting across the country. The programme components, Unnat Jeevan by Affordable LEDs and Appliances for All (UJALA) and Street Lighting National Programme (SNLP) of EESL are currently under implementation in 29 States and 7 Union Territories.

Contractual appointments in Government departments

The Government posts are to be filled in accordance with the recruitment rules. Wherever recruitment rules provide reemployment as a mode of recruitment or in cases of exigencies of work, retired Government servants are reappointed on contractual basis for a specific period.

The Central Civil Services (Fixation of Pay of re-employed Pensioners) orders, 1986 as amended from time to time govern the pay fixation of re-employed pensioners including the persons re-employed on contract basis, unless the contract provides otherwise. The interests of serving employees with regard to promotions/financial upgradations to higher post are taken care of by the respective service rules/regulations applicable to them.

This was stated by the Union Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Development of North Eastern Region (DoNER), MoS PMO, Personnel, Public Grievances, Pensions, Atomic Energy and Space Dr. Jitendra Singh in a written reply to a question by Shri M.P.Veerendra Kumar in the Rajya Sabha today.

BSNLEU writes to the AIBSNLEA, on united struggles to settle the wage revision

BSNL EMPLOYEES UNION

BSNLEU/ 103 (FORUM)

10.08.2017

To
Com. Prahlad Rai,
General Secretary, AIBSNLEA,
CH-17-2-15, Chemmery Quarters,
Atul Grove Road,
New Delhi -110001

Comrade,

Sub: – Need of united struggles for the settlement of wage revision – reg.

I went through your CHQ website updating dated 09.08.2017, on the discussion between CMD BSNL and the unions and associations.

In yesterday’s meeting, as I pointed out categorically that the DPE letter dated 03.08.2017, has completely closed the doors for the wage settlement of BSNL employees. It is our considered opinion that BSNL does not come within the purview of certain categories of PSUs, for which some relaxation has been given from the Affordability Clause of the 3rd PRCs recommendations. I also told the CMD BSNL in a forthright manner, the DoT has totally let down the BSNL employees in the matter of wage revision.

As mentioned in your website updating, certainly we have to try our best to make the DoT and the government to understand that, BSNL should be shown a special consideration, as it is discharging certain responsibilities on behalf of the government of India, in providing broadband connections to the villages and also providing connectivity to the far flung areas.

At the same time, BSNLEU wishes to make it very clear that, the wage revision of BSNL employees cannot be settled without a serious and sustained struggle. In your website updating also, you have rightly mentioned that a “decisive struggle” is needed to settle the wage revision. We appreciate your view that all of us should unite together, keeping aside our differences, and to fight for the settlement of wage revision. We assure that, BSNLEU will take it’s best efforts to unite all the unions and associations, for a united struggle to settle the wage revision.

Thanking you,
Yours fraternally,
[P. Abhimanyu]
General Secretary
