The Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) selected Tirupati Tirumala Devasthanams (TTD) along with four other tourist destinations in Maharashtra, Kerala, Gujarat and Jammu & Kashmir for a feasibility study aimed at achieving net zero energy consumption.
The study will identify strategies to meet the power requirement through renewable energy and by taking energy efficiency measures.
In a virtual review meeting attended by officials of the BEE, TTD and the Energy Department of Andhra Pradesh on January 9, TTD executive officer K.S. Jawahar Reddy said that water pumping systems were planned to be replaced with energy-efficient pump sets and existing fans, with brush-less direct current fans.
