The Energy Education Park is one of the newest concepts aimed to bring the awareness among masses regarding the usage of conventional and non conventional resources. The Energy Education Park at Kolkata is one such popular establishment in the Indian sub continent. The park was set up by West Bengal Renewable Energy Development Agency (WBREDA) in the first month of the new millennium. The park is situated on the Eastern Metropolitan Bypass Road and is spread over an area of about 1.5 acres. The primary objective of the project was to mediate the message,which is the use of renewable technologies and resources to meet the energy crisis, especially among the students. The park was launched with quite a modest amount, Rs 85 lacs, and is catching the attraction soon.

The Energy Education Park at Kolkata exhibits various systems, devices and technological innovations that tend to fulfill the objective. The important exhibits in the park include Solar Car, Reduce Your Electricity Bill, Global Energy Network, Model Tidal Power Plant, Solar Hut, Solar Restaurant and Glasifier Power Plant. With the introduction of visits like Landing on the Mars, there has been a great rush of the tourists. The visits provide a virtual tour to the distant places in the space.

The WBREDA charges a fee of Rs 5.00 for every visitor except for the students below 16 years of age. Students below 16 years of age has to pay Rs 3.00 and for those who are below five years the entry is free. The parks success has secured approvals for four more parks in different parts of the country.

One more interesting thing about the park is that it is run by a physically challenged group of people. The society that takes care of the park consists of 12 physically challenged members.
