Energy Efficiency Certification Experience Sharing and

Consulting Workshop

6th- 7th February,2013

INTRODUCTION

India has made rapid strides towards economic self-reliance over the last few decades.

Impressive progress has been made in the fields of industry, agriculture, communication, transport and other sectors necessitating growing consumption of energy for developmental and economic activities.

2

Conventional source of energy such as coal, oil and gas

are scarce and exhaustible.

Energy prices will rise in the long run to reflect their

relative scarcity and high cost of exploration and

extraction.

Hence, all attempts need to be made expeditiously to

ensure the optimal use of the available resources so as

to manage the viability and availability of energy use

and supply.

This has led the Government of India through the

Energy Conservation Act and the Bureau of Energy

Efficiency to launch several programmes.

INTRODUCTION (contd.)

THE INDIAN ENERGY CONSERVATION ACT

EC Act enacted in October 2001

Become effective from 1st March 2002

Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) operationalized from 1st March 2002.

MISSION OF BEE

Develop policy and strategies with a thrust

on self regulation and market principles,

within the overall framework of the EC Act

with the primary objective of reducing

energy intensity of the Indian economy.

4

THE INDIAN ENERGY CONSERVATION ACT

The five major provisions of EC Act relate to:

Designated Consumers (mainly energy intensive industries) to comply

with the specific energy consumption norms for the manufactured products

and services and establishment of energy management system,

Standards and Labeling of energy consuming appliances, gadgets and

equipment to ensure promotion of energy efficiency of the new stocks

entering the market

Energy Conservation Building Code ensuring that new commercial

buildings constructed in the country have less electricity consumption

Creation of Institutional Set up (Bureau of Energy Efficiency) for effective

coordination of the energy conservation efforts in the country and

Establishment of Energy Conservation Fund at Centre and States to

provide necessary financial support for energy efficiency initiatives in the

country.

Energy efficiency institutional practices and programs in India are now

mainly being guided through various voluntary and mandatory

provisions of the Energy Conservation Act

Appoint or designate energy managers in charge of activities for efficient use of energy and its conservation (clause 14(l)).

• (Note: The minimum qualification of energy manager to be designated or appointed

under clause 14(l) is the passing of certification examination, conducted by Bureau of

Energy Efficiency. The following information to be provided for energy manager:

– Name of the energy manager

– Registration number (EA/EM No.)

Designated Consumers -Initiatives

9 energy intensive industry have been notified as

designated consumers

13 National Certification examinations for Energy

Managers and Energy Auditors have been successfully

conducted. India has now about 9337 Certified Energy

Managers, out of which 6779 are also qualified as

Certified Energy Auditors

4 Guidebooks have been prepared to assist energy professionals

85 Coal fired power generating units of various sizes (110-500 MW) have been mapped. Studies have identified 3 million tonne of coal savings potential in 49 nos. of 210 MW units

Baseline energy audits studies have been carried out in about 400 units of 8 energy audit industry and thermal power units.

ENERGY CONSERVATION BUILDING CODE – Initiatives

ECBC covering five climatic zones of India (Hot & Dry, Warm & Humid, Composite, Temperate and Cold) prepared

ECBC set minimum energy efficiency standards for design and construction

Mandatory Scope Covers commercial buildings

Survey indicates about 306 buildings being constructed in the country are ECBC complaint

Impact of Energy Codes

• Reduced Energy Use for buildings (for lighting and HVAC)

– National Benchmark ~ 180 kWh/m2/year*

– ECBC Complaint building ~ 110 kWh/m2/year

• Market Development for EE products – Building Insulation

– Energy Efficient Windows (Glass and Frames)

– High-Efficiency HVAC Equipment

• Improved Design Practices – Lighting and Daylighting

– Natural Ventilation/Free-Cooling Systems

• Improved Building and equipment Performance

• Improved Power Factor

Other BEE Schemes

• Bachat Lamp Yojana (BLY) – Total sales of CFLs have increased to 350 million (in 2011) from 180 million (in

2008) when the Bachat Lamp Yojana (BLY) was conceptualized. – The doubling of CFL market, even though BLY has contributed to only about

15% of the increase, suggests that the transformation conceptualized under BLY has occurred.

• Agricultural Demand Side Management (DSM) – Scheme was focussed on replacement of inefficient pumps with BEE star

labelled energy efficient pumps. – One pilot project was taken up in Solapur

• Municipal DSM – Bankable DPRs for 134 Urban Local Bodies (ULB) prepared which shows overall

potential saving of about 120 MW – Energy conservation cells were created in all ULBs to facilitate the

implementation of the DPRs

25

Other BEE Schemes

• SMEs – 375 detailed project reports in 25 SME clusters were prepared

for facilitation of implementation of Energy Efficiency in SME units.

• Strengthening of State Designated Agencies

– 32 states have designated SDAs (State Designated Agencies) to implement energy efficiency in their respective states

– 33 demonstration projects in the area street lights and water pumping system have been implemented

– LED village campaign implemented in 24 states – Investment Grade Energy Audit (IGEA) conducted in 491

Government buildings across India.

26

Impact of BEE Programmes

Standards and Labelling of equipment and appliances

programme has created a market transformation and

promoted energy efficiency among consumers

Energy saving targets have been fixed for 8 sectors of

energy intensive industry- 6.60 million ton of oil equivalent

by 2014-15

India has now 9337 Certified Energy Managers, out of which

6779 are also qualified as Certified Energy Auditors

More than 200 industrial units and other establishments

have already declared their energy management policy

Promotion of ISO 50001 has been taken as one of the thrust

area of 12th Plan (2012-2017)

Various activities under different schemes have resulted in

savings in avoided power generation capacity of about

10,836 MW during 11th Five Year Plan (2007-2012).

27

12th Plan(2012-17): Energy Savings Program

• Avoided Peaking Capacity target: 12,350 MW*

• Savings in BU 44.85 BU (consumer end)

60.17 BU (at bus bar)

* 12th Plan baseline is the achieved energy efficiency

levels in 2011-12 (Not levels in 2006-07 as for the 11th

Plan)

Each and every one has the energy to save energy

and we must use that energy to save energy every

moment in every way we can!
