The National Energy Efficiency Strategy (NEES), 2024 is among the very key documents in development of energy sector and the national economy. Implementation of NEES will lead to reduced energy demand therefore reducing the need for the new power plants and infrastructures which both have negative impacts to nature, biodiversity and people. In addition to that, the NEES, 2024 will support stable supply of energy and lower peak demands hence improve and make the grid reliable.
It will contribute to the national efforts on clean cooking and in reducing greenhouse gas emissions hence supporting the current national efforts in mitigating the negative impacts of climate change and achieving goal 7 of sustainable development goals.
