The Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) supports the program “Promoting energy efficient agricultural pump sets in India (EPIA)” for efficient irrigation in Indian agriculture. Impact Energy, together with the Indian partner The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI), researches the use of energy efficient submersible pumps in open wells and boreholes. Also, the efficient use of water for irrigation is important, because the entire system from nutrition production to electricity production needs to be improved.
