INDIAN ECONOMY & ENERGY DEMAND India is in a developing phase and its economy is

showing good growth prospects.

The country is trying to improve its industrial sector

and with every new development in the sector, thedemand for energy is going up.


3/17

ENERGY CONSUMPTION IN INDIA On the other hand, major part of the existing

industries in India uses old machineries and

production procedures that are increasing the

amount of energy consumption. The public buildings in the country as well as the

residential settings are also consuming energy

heavily.

Growing population of India is also another reason

for the growing energy demand in the country.

WHAT ARE THE CONSEQUENCES?According to an estimation of the IEA (International

Energy Agency), the demand for energy would

double in the next twenty years (Refer graph).

Along with this, the level of pollution is alsoexpected to increase heavily in the coming years.

ENERGY CONSERVATION IN INDIA Energy conservation process in India has been

gathering increasing importance in the national

government.

The government has introduced new building codesin the country.

At the same time, eco-labels on the electric

appliances are also a new feature in the country.

Along with this, authorities have also organized a

number of contests and public campaigns on the

topic to raise awareness level in general public

about the factors like energy conservation and

energy efficiency.

ENERGY CONSERVATION IN INDIA (CONTD.) There are a number of international organizations

that have come forward to support the initiatives ofthe government to promote energy efficiency in thecountry. Some of these are the International

Finance Corporation of the World Bank, UnitedNations Foundation Alliance to Save Energy and soon.

The Bureau of Energy Efficiency India is alsoplaying a major role in the process. The national

government, along with other organizations, hasplanned to provide support to the businesses sectorso that they can reduce their energy consumption.

ENERGY CONSERVATION IN INDIA (CONTD.)At the same time the Energy Service Companies or

ESCOs are also promoted in the country. These

companies provide free services to the business

sector for improving energy efficiency and in thelater stage, a portion of the savings made from the

reduced energy costs are charged as the fees.

The initiatives are expected to reduce energy

consumption in the country. The government as

well as the whole globe is waiting to see the impactof these efforts.


9/17

BUREAU OF ENERGY EFFICIENCY The Government of India set up Bureau of Energy

Efficiency (BEE) (www.bee-india.nic.in) on 1st

March 2002 under the provisions of the Energy

Conservation Act, 2001. The mission of BEE is to assist in developing

policies and strategies with a thrust on self-

regulation and market principles, within the overall

framework of the Energy Conservation Act, 2001

with the primary objective of reducing energyintensity of the Indian economy.


10/17

REGULATORY FUNCTIONS OF BEE Develop minimum energy performance standards and

labelling design for equipment and appliances.

Develop specific Energy Conservation Building Codes

Activities focussing on designated consumers. Develop specific energy consumption norms.

Certify Energy Managers and Energy Auditors

Accredit Energy Auditors.

Define the manner and periodicity of mandatory energy

audits.

Develop reporting formats on energy consumption and

action taken on the recommendations of the energy

auditors.


11/17

PROMOTIONAL FUNCTIONS OF BEE Create awareness and disseminate information on

energy efficiency and conservation

Arrange and organize training of personnel andspecialists in the techniques for efficient use of energy

and its conservation Strengthen consultancy services in the field of energy

conservation

Promote research and development

Develop testing and certification procedures and

promote testing facilities Formulate and facilitate implementation of pilot projects

and demonstration projects

Promote use of energy efficient processes, equipment,devices and systems


12/17

PROMOTIONAL FUNCTIONS OF BEE (CONTD.) Take steps to encourage preferential treatment for

use of energy efficient equipment or appliances

Promote innovative financing of energy efficiencyprojects

Give financial assistance to institutions forpromoting efficient use of energy and itsconservation

Prepare educational curriculum on efficient use ofenergy and its conservation

Implement international co-operation programmesrelating to efficient use of energy and itsconservation


13/17

SOME ALTERNATIVESAlternative Energy:

y Alternative energy fuels are basically not traditional fuels

and also have a lesser impact on the environment.

y These untraditional sources of energy can be winds,

compressed natural gases, hydroelectricity and solar

sources.

ENERGY SAVING COMPANIES (ESCO) Energy saving companies specialize in offering

energy efficient solutions to the customers.

The products and services offered by energy saving

companies are designed to ensure efficient use ofenergy and bring about favourable changes in the

climatic conditions.

Energy saving companies put stress on use of

renewable sources of energy.

With their experienced group of professionals,

these companies carry out a number of research

and development programs to evolve energy

efficient solutions.


15/17

ESCO (CONTD.) The solutions offered by energy saving companies

utilize latest technologies to minimize the requirement ofenergy and reduce dependence on fossil fuels.

This in turn has positive effects like reduction of

electricity consumption and addition to the long-termsavings of the consumers.

The products and services of energy saving companiesare provided in accordance with the International EnergyEfficiency Standards.

Energy saving bulbs, fans, water heaters, motionsensors, and power factor correction facilities are someof the major products offered by energy savingcompanies.


16/17

ESCO (CONTD.) Some of these companies provide the customers

with recycled products.

Historically, the energy service industry is relatively

young, more so in the Indian context. The future for ESCOs and for their customers is

bright as there is an increasingly global need to

implement energy efficiency projects on a

widespread basis.
