Demonstration of energy saving approaches in the Vadodara Municipal Corporation?s (VMC) street-lighting and water pumping facilities?
The purpose of the project is:-
? To create a conducive atmosphere to implement the energy saving changes in the existing system.
? To demonstrate that substantial savings in energy bills by implementing the recommendations made in the energy audit, this has been conducted by the VMC in order to create a synergy effect in other facilities.
? To develop an energy cell in the Vadodara Municipal Coorporation to facilitate a single window clearance for implemention of energy saving techniques.
? To initiate policy reforms for energy saving and reduction of Green house gases.
The proposed project has four major components:-
1. Implementation of retrofitting measures at selected facilities.
2. Record the energy savings and process documentation for the purpose of creating awareness and advocacy
3. Replication and Networking.
4. Policy reforms.

Project Characteristics and Results
Promoting Public Awareness of Global Environment
Local urban bodies are one of the biggest consumers of secondary sources of energy, by raising awareness in administrators of such local bodies and institution like hospitals, schools, etc. for proper housekeeping, proper designs, and better operation and maintainance schedules, substancial power saving can be achieved. Particularly in the developing countries, the savings in the energy bills will also attribute a lot to the growth and development of the cities.
Notable Community Participation
The nature of this project is such that it does not have direct involvement of the community in its implementation. However, strategically, without community awareness and then active participation in demanding the implementation is very crucial to ensure that the energy conservation is given priority in numerous ongoing services in any municipal corporation.
