Alliance for an Energy Efficient Economy (AEEE)
Alliance for an Energy Efficient Economy (AEEE) is one of the leading organizations in India dedicated to advancing energy efficiency through data-driven and evidence-based policies and research. AEEE supports policy implementation and is an energy efficiency market enabler with a not-for-profit motive. It promotes energy efficiency as a resource and collaborates with stakeholders as policymakers, government, business and industry, consumers, researchers, and civil society members. In this, it works to transform the market for energy-efficient products and services, helping India meet its goals on energy security, clean energy, and climate change. We work with a Lean-Mean-Green philosophy to create frameworks and technology for net-zero built environments, thermal comfort, sustainable cold chains, sustainable transportation, and energy data frameworks. These support policymaking and implementation to achieve India's transition to a climate-resilient and energy-secure future and support commitments to 2030 nationally determined goals (NDC) and UN sustainable developmental goals (SDG). AEEE supports its members by providing a bouquet of value-added, tailor-made services in the area of energy efficiency . AEEE creates opportunities for its members that enable scaling of energy efficiency products and services, and also catalyzes energy efficiency financing. Our Vision Catalyze responsible use of energy for a climate resilient and energy secure future Our Mission - Create a culture and market for energy efficiency by working across government, industry, and non-profit organizations - Enable equitable energy transition - Integrate energy efficiency into India’s 2030 Climate Action, Sustainable Development, and 2070 Net-Zero Goals For more information, visit: https://aeee.in/
