National Energy Conservation Centre (ENERCON) is revolving towards an independent authority being developed under the ENERCON Bill 2011. ENERCON was established in 1987 and serves as the national focal point for energy conservation/energy efficiency activities in all sectors of the economy, namely industry, agriculture, transport, building and domestic.

The strategy adopted by ENERCON for promoting Energy Conservation spans a whole spectrum of activities, starting from identification of energy conservation opportunities and including technology demonstration, undertaking pilot projects, information and outreach, training and education, and development of plans and policies for promoting energy efficiency.
