National Energy Conservation Day is celebrated every year on 14th December 2022. The purpose is to showcase the achievements of the nation in energy efficiency and conservation.

On this day in 2001, the Energy Conservation Act was executed by the Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) and since then this day has been celebrated to raise awareness on limiting energy loss. Energy conservation implies using less energy by avoiding the unnecessary use of energy or being more efficient in our power consumption. Let us observe this day by increasing awareness by using energy more judiciously.

The Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE), under the power ministry of India, launched the National Energy Conservation Awards in 1991 to recognise the contribution of industries and establishments in reducing energy consumption while maintaining their production through awards. The first time the awards were given away was on December 14, 1991. Since then, the day has been declared National Energy Conservation Day.
