 LESSON LEARNED:
 North DMC is one of the largest municipalities serving a
 population of more than 50 lakh that too in capital of the
 country i.e., Delhi. So, it has to be the trend setter in terms
 of  implementing  energy  efficiency  projects.  Huge
 potential, not only for protecting environment but also for
 energy saving in street lighting, was the real motivation
 behind  this  work. Additional  positive  aspects  such  as
 enhanced visual comfort, safety of women and restoration
 of faith of common man in government system etc. are
 also remarkable.
  Some of the municipalities in India have already taken up
 similar energy efficiency initiative and North DMC went
 through  some  of  those  project  details  and  devised  its
 contract  conditions  and  strategies  accordingly  by
 analysing  pros  and  cons  learnt  from  those  examples.
 North DMC went one step further by bringing in value
 additions like virtual revenue generation from day one,
 which was quite unlike the existing models of that time.
 Advice of North DMC for others who opt to follow the
 model was to analyse existing setup so as to have clear
 idea beforehand about the savings and other outcomes.

 In nutshell, without investing a single penny, just by sheer
 planning  and  meticulous  execution,  regular  virtual
 revenue  generation  can  be  ensured  for  a  long  run  for
 financially constrained public utilities.
