EESL is a joint venture between the national power utilities of the Indian government and Delhi-based Alliance for an Energy-Efficient Economy (AEEE).

ESL CGM Communications Animesh Mishra said the groundbreaking collaboration between EESL and AEEE will help enhance energy efficiency in states like AP, Kerala, Karnataka, UP, MP, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Telangana and Gujarat, apart from union territories like Ladakh and Andaman and Nicobar Islands.
