Kerala
Government has became the first State Government in India to
establish an Energy Management Centre (EMC) at State level,
aiming primarily to remould and instrumentalise energy sector
as a catalyst in promoting a development process which is econo-ecologically
sustainable. With a view to making energy sector achieve such
a lead and catalytic role, EMC has evolved a novel and comprehensive
energy management approach and institutional philosophy encompassing
management of energy technology systems - both conventional
and non-conventional, energy conservation in all sectors of
the economy, rural and urban energy systems, energy education
and training, energy generation and conservation based employment
and poverty alleviation programmes.
Giving
due consideration to this energy-economy interaction process/scenario,
the Government of Kerala took leadership initiatives for establishing
a multi-disciplinary Energy Management Centre under the Department
of Power.
