malls/Hospitals) has been developed and put in public domain. (iii) Demand Side Management (DSM) Scheme (a) Agriculture DSM In order to tap the energy saving potential, Agriculture Demand Side Management (AgDSM) program was initiated in XI plan by Bureau of Energy Efficiency with an objective to induce energy efficiency in agriculture sector by creating market based framework for implementation of few pilot projects and create awareness among end users & other stakeholders for adoption of energy efficient pump sets (EEPS). (b) Capacity Building of DISCOMS The objective of the programme is capacity building of DISCOMs for carrying out load management programme, energy conservation programme, development of DSM action plan and implementation of DSM activities in their respective areas. This programme would help the DISCOMs for reducing peak electricity demand so that they can delay building further capacity. (c) Energy Efficiency in Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) sector To encourage the energy efficient technologies and operational practices in SME sectors in India, BEE has initiated the energy efficiency interventions in selected 25 SMEs clusters during the XI plan. (iv) Strengthening Institutional Capacity of States Strengthening of State Designated Agency (SDAs) The implementation and enforcement of the provisions of the Energy Conservation Act in the states is to be carried out by SDAs. As on date, the SDAs have been set up in 32 states by designating one of the existing organizations as required under section 15 (d) of the Energy Conservation Act 2001. (v) School Education Program - Considering the need to make the next generation more aware regarding efficient use of energy resources, it is necessary to introduce children during their school education. In this regard, promotion of energy efficiency in schools is being promoted through the establishment of Energy Clubs. It has also proposed to incorporate changes in the existing science syllabi and science text books of NCERT for classes 6th to 10th. (vi) Human Resource Development (HRD) A sound policy for creation, retention and up gradation of skills of Human Resources is very crucial for penetration of energy efficient technologies and practices in various sectors. The component under HRD comprises of theory cum practice oriented training programme and providing Energy Audit Instrument Support. (vii) National Mission for Enhanced Energy Efficiency (NMEEE) The National Mission for Enhanced Energy Efficiency (NMEEE) is one of the eight missions under the National Action Plan on Climate Change (NAPCC). NMEEE aims to strengthen the market for energy efficiency by creating conducive regulatory and policy regime and has envisaged fostering innovative and sustainable business models to the energy efficiency sector. The NMEEE spelt out four initiatives to enhance energy efficiency in energy intensive industries which are as follows: • Perform Achieve and Trade Scheme (PAT), a market based mechanism to enhance the cost effectiveness in improving the Energy Efficiency in Energy Intensive industries through certification of energy saving which can be traded • Market Transformation for Energy Efficiency (MTEE), for accelerating the shift to energy efficient appliances in designated sectors through innovative measures to make the products more affordable • Energy Efficiency Financing Platform (EEFP), for creation of mechanisms that would help finance demand side management programmes in all sectors by capturing future energy savings • Framework for Energy Efficient Economic Development (FEEED), for development of fiscal instruments to promote energy efficiency a. Perform Achieve and Trade (PAT): On 30th March, 2012 energy saving targets for 478 designated consumers belonging to 8 sectors were notified and on 4th June, 2012 the PAT was formally launched. Consultations are conducted regularly post notification at state and sector level to communicate and inform designated consumers about the PAT implementation process, and to seek their views and experiences. In the first cycle of PAT (ending in year 2014-15), 478 industrial units in 8 sectors (Aluminium, Cement, Fertilizer, Iron & Steel, Paper & Pulp, Thermal Power, Textile) have been mandated to reduce their specific energy consumption (SEC) i.e. energy used per unit of production. The target reduction for each industrial unit is based on their current levels of energy efficiency, so ENERGY EFFICIENCY 44 energetica INDIA · JAN | FEB16
