and RE initiatives, and also to understand, document and communicate their
specific needs to relevant policy makers.
•
Specific Objectives
– To gauge the level of awareness among various stakeholders on RE and DSM
– To understand consumers’ willingness to pay for RE
– To understand the various roadblocks to effective implementation of initiatives
pertaining to RE and DSM

Baseline Survey for West Bengal
Methodology –
•
Criteria for Choosing Districts –
– Sunderbans (South 24 Parganas) ---- where RE initiatives have been undertaken
– Cooch Behar --- isolated islands -----virgin territory for RE initiative
– Nadia & East Midnapore ---- Grid Connected----higher relevance of DSM
•
Details
– 4 districts – 10 territories (Blocks)--- 2 in each district; but in Sunderbans 4 blocks
– 1 CSOs from each territory – 10 CSOs
– 50 respondents in each territory --- 50x100= 500 responsdents
•
From each of the territories both Urban and Rural areas were surveyed

Perception on Cost of RE
•
Surprisingly 39% of the respondents felt that the cost of RE was low, which contradicts the
general perception
•
Out of the total off-grid consumers, majority (64%) felt the cost to be low
•
25% of total respondents feel the cost to be very high out of which 43% are unelectrified.
Which means the untapped market’s wrong perception needs to be changed
•
Out of this 25%, 45% of the respondents feel that government should provide more
subsidy to bring down the cost of RE.
Willingness to Pay
•
79% of the respondents are will pay extra for using clean energy but not beyond 5-10%.
•
The pattern shows that from the income category of 75,000 – 1,00,000 the willingness to pay increases
proportionately with income group
Awareness and Usage of RE Equipments by HOUSEHOLDS
•
62% of the respondents were aware of equipments run on RE. Interestingly the level of awareness was found
to be higher for rural areas (66%) rather than for urban areas (53%).

Problems Facing RE users in West Bengal
•
47% of the respondents told that there are no service centres nearby their villages. For
Nadia 75% of the RE users had reported this problem.
•
In case of South 24 Pargana respondents told that on an average 3 month is required to
repair any fault in the RE equipments
•
The perception of 78% of the offgrid consumers was that Heavy Electrical Appliances like
Fridge cannot be run on RE and they would shift to conventional grid connectivity. This
made some offgrid solar consumers shift to grid connected conventional electricity in
Nadia.
In one of the unelectrified islands in Cooch Behar respondents were eager to
install rooftop solar panels but could not do so. This is because some other
residents in a nearby island had installed the same but those became defunct
after 3 months and could not be repaired.
14
Demand Side Management
Quality of Service
•
60% of the respondents face Voltage Fluctuation and Power Cut
•
Interestingly, while 70% of the Grid Connected consumers have reported to have been
suffering from Voltage Fluctuation and Power Cuts, 50% of the off-grid consumers told
that they do not face voltage fluctuation
•
68% of the consumers had to use voltage stabilizers with an average price of Rs2,000.
21% of the consumers use Inverter and 11% use diesel generators
Judicious Use of Electricity
•
84% of the respondents believe that judicious use of electricity can help in reducing
voltage fluctuation and power cut.
•
Media has been the main source of information for all the stakeholders especially
through small advertisements broadcasted over Television.
•
92% of the respondents believe that use of energy efficient products can help reduce
electricity bill
15
On Demand Side Management…….(contd.)
Awareness about Energy Efficient Products – HOUSEHOLDS
•
83% of the Households are using energy efficient products. However understanding about energy
efficient electrical products is limited to use of CFL and Tubelights
•
Only 38% of the households are aware of Star Label and/or BEE label. The rest 62% are not aware
on how to identify energy efficient products. The level of awareness is lower for rural areas.
•
Non availability of Energy Efficient Products and Lack of awareness about the benefits - two main
reasons for not using energy efficient products.
Commercial Consumers
•
67% of the commercial consumers are not aware about BEE label.
•
Awareness about BEE label is higher for urban (20%) rather than rural areas (6%)
•
Out of the 33% of the commercial consumers who are aware about BEE label, 60% came to know
through media, 38% from Electricity Distribution Company and 2% through BEE
•
62% of the commercial consumers are not aware about Energy Audit and the rest 38% never
conducted Energy Audit
16
Agricultural Community in West Bengal
•
72% of the farmers use irrigation pumpsets between 8 a.m. and afternoon
•
Only 58% of the farmers are aware about lower tariff at night
•
Inspite of knowing that tariff at night is lower than day, they are not using the
pumpsets in the day time since – “that is the time when water should be given and
not at night” as quoted by one of the respondents
•
Only 1 farmer is using energy efficient pumpset (having a BEE label), though 36% are
aware about energy efficient pumpsets.
•
However the perception is very skewed. Farmers using diesel and Kerosene use
Chinese pumpsets which consume less fuel. This is their concept of energy efficient
pump and not with the BEE labeled pumps. The local shops, company
advertisements and feedback from fellow farmers are promoting these pumpsets
17
In West Bengal, agriculture sector is one of prime consumers of fossil fuel (Kerosene,
Diesel) especially in areas where government is not giving permission to set up electrical
pumpsets

Approximate calculation of the amount of diesel used in one season (3 months)
In the Radhanagar Gram Panchayat (Gosaba) there is 7,000 bigha (apprx) that is cultivated 3
times a year. Other than the monsoon season irrigation water is pumped and used in Boro
(summer) season. A well to do farmer uses 100 liters of diesel/kerosene each bigha in one
season. This means in the boro season 7,00,000 (apprx) liters of diesel/kerosene is burnt in
one Gram Panchayat.
18
Solar Pumpset for Irrigation
•
Though 73% of the respondents were aware about existence of Solar pump sets ,yet none
was found to be using it.
•
Majority of the Farmers expressed interest in solar pumpsets, yet they had the following
questions –
•
o
Will the solar pumps be able to give average performance of a 5 - 7.5 horse power
pumpset?
o
What will be the quality of its after sales service?
According to the respondents 53% do not know where the solar pump sets are available
19
Experience and Awareness among CSOs
•
91% of the CSOs did not have any prior experience of working on issues pertaining to RE and
DSM. 71% of the CSOs have cited Lack of funding, 28% have cited lack of capacity and 8% as lack
of consumer interest as the reason for not working on these issues
•
87% of the CSOs are not aware about the existence of a regulatory body in the electricity sector.
•
76% of the CSOs are not aware about the Electricity Act, 2003 and the role and responsibility
assigned to the CSOs
Two Case Studies in West Bengal
•
Absence of a regulatory structure jeopardises the long term feasibility of RE initiatives –
Gosaba and Moushani
•
Innovative RE inititaives adopted by one of the local partners in Cooch Behar – distribution of
hearing aid where the battery is charged through solar chargers
20
Way Forward
•
Identifying the key areas and issues to focus on.
•
Plan the training workshops based on the key issues identified
•
Need Based sessions in the training workshops
•
To make it West Bengal specific
•
To understand the common problems and challenges faced by Gujarat and West
Bengal chapters
•
Equal emphasis on both RE and DSM
21
Thank You

•
In South 24 Pargana, the 4 pockets (where RE initiatives had been undertaken)
selected were predominantly rural. Hence the tilt in this district was towards rural
respondents
•
East Midnapore and Coochbehar had a balanced sample size
•
In Nadia the Chapra territory is predominantly rural. Here the RE users had shifted to
