It is widely acknowledged that the role of energy efficiency (EE) in reducing India’s carbon dioxide emissions and improving energy security is critical. Achieving the overarching goal of increasing EE in South Asia would be enabled by a well-planned, professionally executed public communication strategy and outreach program with clear audience segmentation. As the first step towards implementing a strategic communication program, the World Bank commissioned an analysis of EE-related. communications in India targeted towards various stakeholders and energy consumers. This communication analysis, including mapping of key stakeholders in the Indian EE communications landscape, is part of the World Bank’s implemented program titled ‘scaling up the demand side energy efficiency business line in South Asia’, and will inform a communications strategy that aims to increase awareness and foster an enabling policy and business environment for EE in India.
