The MEDA Strategic Energy Conservation Plan has been developed as a blueprint for energy
conservation activities in the State of Maharashtra, consistent with MEDA’s responsibilities as
the designated agency for the implementation of the Energy Conservation Act 2001 and the needs
to develop mechanisms to balance the State’s electricity supply and demand.
Objectives
The major objectives of the Strategic Energy Conservation Plan are to:
