Inks MoU with Energy Efficiency Services
With a view to promote efficient renewable technologies in the dairy industry, National Dairy Development Board (NDDB) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with government-owned Energy Efficiency Services Ltd (EESL)
Speaking on the occasion, Varsha Joshi, Joint Secretary (Dairy Development), Department of Animal Husbandry & Dairying, Govt of India and Chairman, NDDB conveyed that NDDB and EESL will work together to design and develop innovative business models (energy efficient solutions) for dairy cooperative institutions, which are transparent, scalable and flexible enough to seamlessly embrace different and emerging technologies in a manner that incentivises all the stakeholders.
She stressed the need of propagating such technically sound and financially viable models meeting the need of electricity, steam and hot water in the dairy cooperative network.
EESL will conceptualise, propose and design technically sound alternate energy generation solutions for dairy plants in the dairy cooperative sector across the country. It will also arrange necessary technical and funding support for design, development and operation of the non-conventional energy generation models.
NDDB will extend its expertise in dairy business/dairy plant management/other such related activities to facilitate/support conceptualising, development and implementation of the alternate energy generation models. The Dairy Board will also assist in development, monitoring and evaluation of programmes leading to assessment of outcome/impact of projects.
