Energetica India 89 - May 2020

40 energetica INDIA- May_2020 Analysis through top-down approach Based on Energy Statistics 2017, the total demandfrom in - dustrial consumers in India in 2016 was 424billion electricity units (BUs or TWh), out of which total energy demand from util - ities was 286 billion electricity units. The rest of the 138 billion electricity units of energy consumption were met through cap - tivepower generation. Maharashtra, Gujarat, Tamil Nadu,Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh,Rajasthan, Tel - angana, Haryana, Madhya Pradesh andWest Bengal are the top 12 states in terms of energyconsumption in the industrial sector. As per a study undertaken by SIDBI, 48% of theenergy demand in the industrial sector comes from MSMEs. The calculation below shows the energy demand from MSMEs is estimated at 204 BU (TWh) annually: Energy demand of industrial MSMEs X % demand from MS - MEs = demand from MSMEs424 BU X 48% = 204 BUs Analysis through bottom-up approach The number of clusters has been taken from thedevelopment commissioner MSME cluster list, whichprovides details of 388 clusters in the country. As theseclusters are of varying sizes, they have been split into four categories. For each cluster, the number of registered units thathave been considered are the lower limit of the range forconservative es - timates. For example, the number of units considered in the range 500-1000 units is 500 units. These units have been further categorized on the basisof their energy consumption profile (energy intensity) depending on the type of industry based on discussions withindustry experts and other secondary data. The number ofunits classified as per the average energy consumption isgiven in figures 4 and 5: SOLAR POWER Figure 2: Average energy consumption based on type of industry Energy consumption (MU/annum) Figure 3: Split of industrial cluster in terms of number of units per cluster Figure 4: Number of units as per average energy consumptionw
