The study consists of two main parts. One is the analysis based on the sample survey conducted in and around Hyderabad which is served by Andhra Pradesh State Electricity Board. The Other part is based on the analysis of the secondary data and interviews conducted with the selected professionals in the related areas. Poor power quality was revealed to be major barrier for effective functioning of energy efficient both in the household and industrial sector. Some of the energy efficient items like high pressure sodium vapor lamps were not adopted because of inferior quality of the associated equipment like ballasts, fixtures manufactured by small scale sector as these items are exclusively reserved for exclusive manufacture of small scale sector. Lack of awareness, high initial price and lack of technical demonstration were some of the major barriers found in this survey for energy efficient improvements. Most of the industrial finance schemes were confined to southern and western regions. The study revealed that there is lack of energy savings company at the regional level for formulating, advising, coordinating and implementing energy efficiency programs. Labeling in the present form is not serving the purpose of educating the consumer.10aElectric powerxConservationxIndia1 aShrestha, Ram M.,eChairperson1 aMohanty, Brahmanand,eExamination committee1 aRamanathan, K.,eExamination committee1 aChen, Xavier,eExamination committee2 aAsian Institute of Technology,eScholarship donor2 aAsian Institute of Technology.tThesis ;vno.
