The scheme aimed to reduce the peak demand in power systems by encouraging the adoption of energy-efficient lighting. By providing CFLs at a price comparable to incandescent bulbs, the government incentivized consumers to lower their connected load and total energy consumption, thereby lowering the grid's overall power requirements.
Launched by the Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE), Ministry of Power.
Targeted the reduction of residential peak load.
Addressed the high energy consumption of incandescent lamps which typically convert 90% of energy to heat.
Precursor to later initiatives like the UJALA scheme (Unnat Jyoti by Affordable LEDs for All).
Reduced household electricity bills.
Lowered peak load on electrical power grids.
Extended bulb lifespan compared to traditional incandescent lamps.
CFLs contain trace amounts of mercury, requiring safe disposal.
CFLs have a slower warm-up time compared to incandescent bulbs.
Eventual obsolescence due to the rise of more efficient LED technology.
Residential lighting efficiency programs.
Demand Side Management (DSM) in power systems.
Utility-led energy conservation strategies.
The scheme was instrumental in creating awareness regarding Demand Side Management (DSM) among rural and urban households.
Option A, B, and D are incorrect as 'Bachat' refers to saving, and 'Lamp' was the specific technology focus for this era of the scheme.
C is correct тАФ BLY stands for Bachat Lamp Yojna, a government program designed to promote energy-efficient lighting and reduce peak power demand.
In competitive exams, always link 'Bachat' schemes to energy saving and 'Lamp/Light' to the specific technology eraтАФCFL for BLY and LED for UJALA.
