THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Water Resources Minister N.K. Premachandran has said that Kerala has much to do as regards energy conservation.
He was speaking at the Kerala State Energy Conservation awards presentation ceremony organised by the Energy Management Centre (EMC), Kerala, as part of the National Energy Conservation Day observances.
“In this age of climate change and global warming, energy efficiency and conservation along with public awareness is the key to a better environment,” the Minister said.
Kerala had set an example on energy conservation for the nation by taking action long before the enactment of the Energy Conservation Act of 2001.
Mr. Premachandran said by initiating the campaign on the use of CFL lamps, Kerala had positioned itself far ahead of others in the field of energy conservation.
Awards were presented in categories of large, medium and small-scale energy consumers, channels and media, non-profit organisations, research and innovation and individuals.
Winners of various school and college-level competitions also received prizes at the function.
