ENERGY SAVINGS FEASIBILITY STUDY – MCDONALDS

This project was commissioned under the sponsor ship   of USAID’s ECO Project.Electric power was the major energy used by the complex. The power supply to the outlets was by Delhi Vidyut Board and Uttar Pradesh State Electricity Board (UPSEB).  
The annual electricity bills of the outlets were about Rs 10.96 million.

“The study has identified measures to save 31.81 lakhs per year after an initial investment of 34,57 lakhs. The findings of the study have been under implementation over the past 6 months and we have implemented most of the energy efficiency measures that do not involve any investment. We are currently implementing the measures involving investments.”

Electric Bikes and Cars – are the Future of Transportation 

Solar Power for Mobility is Sustainable, displaces fossil fuels and abates pollution.

Our hypothesis is that India can target more than 100GW solar easily if solar isused for charging electric vehicles.

Displacing petrol with solar is important as India imports 80%of its oil and

uses 50% of the export earnings for oil imports! We should reduce dependency

on imported fossil fuels for transportation and decrease the urban air pollution

by encouraging the use of solar power for mobility (electric cars, bikes and bicylces). 

We should plan solar charging stations in ‘smart cities’ to begin with, and in  

rural areas and along the highways in due course.
