INTRODUCTION
1.1
About BEE
The mission of Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) is to develop policy and strategies
with a thrust on self-regulation and market principles, within the overall framework of the
Energy Conservation Act (EC Act), 2001 with the primary objective of reducing energy
intensity of the Indian economy. This will be achieved with active participation of all
stakeholders, resulting in accelerated and sustained adoption of energy efficiency in all
sectors.
The setting up of Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) provides a legal framework for
energy efficiency initiatives in the country. The Act empowers the Central Government
and in some instances the State Governments to:
a) Notify energy intensive industries, other establishments, and commercial buildings
as designated consumers.
b) Establish and prescribe energy consumption norms and standards for designated
consumers.
c) Direct designated consumers to designate or appoint certified energy manager in
charge of activities for efficient use of energy and its conservation.
d) Get an energy audit conducted by an accredited energy auditor in the specified
manner and intervals of time.
e) Furnish information with regard to energy consumed and action taken on the
recommendation of the accredited energy auditor to the designated agency.
f) Comply with energy consumption norms and standards, and if not so, to prepare and
implement schemes for efficient use of energy and its conservation.
g) Prescribe energy conservation building codes for efficient use of energy and its
conservation in commercial buildings State Governments to amend the energy
conservation building codes to suit regional and local climatic conditions.
h) Direct owners or occupiers of commercial buildings to comply with the provisions of
energy conservation building codes.
4
i) Direct mandatory display of label on notified equipment and appliances.
j) Specify energy consumption standards for notified equipment and appliance.
k) Prohibit manufacture, sale, purchase and import of notified equipment and
appliances not conforming to standards.
The Energy Conservation Act, 2001 defines the powers of the State Government to
facilitate and enforce efficient use of energy and its conservation. The State
Governments have to designate State Designated Agencies in consultation with the
Bureau of Energy Efficiency to coordinate, regulate and enforce the provisions of the
Act in the State. Thus the State Designated Agencies are the strategic partners for
promotion of energy efficiency and its conservation in the country.
1.2
Organization
Under the provisions of the Energy Conservation Act, 2001, Bureau of Energy Efficiency
was established with effect from 1st March, 2002 by merging into it, the erstwhile
Energy Management Centre, being a society registered under the Societies Registration
Act, 1860, under the Ministry of Power.
The mission of the Bureau of Energy Efficiency 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
energy intensity of the Indian economy.
1.3
Functions of BEE
BEE co-ordinates with designated consumers, designated agencies and other
organization; recognizes, identifies and utilizes the existing resources and infrastructure,
in performing the functions assigned to it under the E.C Act, 2001. The Act provides for
regulatory and promotional functions. The major functions of BEE include:

Develop and recommend to the Central Government the norms for processes and
energy consumption standards.
5

Develop and recommend to the Central Government minimum energy consumption
standards and labeling design for equipment and appliances.

Develop and recommend to the Central Govt. specific energy conservation building
codes.

Recommend the Central Government for notifying any user or class of users of
energy as a designated consumer.

Take necessary measures to create awareness and disseminate information for
efficient use of energy and its conservation.
2
Background to the Project
With rapid growth in urbanization & industrialization in India arising out of the projected
growth in GDP of 5 -6 % in the coming years, a significant increase in demand for
electrical energy is foreseen. Given the high cost as well as lead time for augmentation
of power generation capacity, various measures already under way (or contemplated for
implementation) for reduction in energy demand through adoption of appropriate energy
conservation measures need to be set into fast track mode. Energy Efficiency (EE)
improvement has, therefore, emerged as an urgent imperative in the current global
scenario.
Under the Govt. of India’s National Action Plan for Climate Change (NAPCC) eight
initiatives have been identified, one of which is being spearheaded by the Bureau of
Energy Efficiency (BEE), viz. the National Mission for Enhanced Energy Efficiency
(NMEEE). The NMEEE has introduced a number of innovative market-based financial
instruments aimed at accelerating the strategic deployment of energy efficiency across
India, the focus being on India’s most energy intensive industrial sectors. It is estimated
that by 2014-15 the NMEEE measures would have yielded an estimated savings to the
tune of USD 14.8 billion, besides fuel savings exceeding 23 million TOE, CO2 emission
mitigation of 98 million tons, & 19 GW of savings in capacity addition.
6
Notwithstanding the benefits expected to accrue out of energy saving measures, their
implementation poses several challenges, such as paucity of financing, inadequate
regulatory incentives, marketing barriers, etc. While India has taken various steps to
overcome the financial and regulatory barriers, there is a need for greater thrust on
providing incentives for the indigenous development & promotion of innovative
technologies, and their large scale adoption in industries.
With a view to stimulating EE technology innovation in India, the Global Environment
Facility (GEF) has extended a Grant of USD 9 million to BEE for implementing a project
for promotion of Low Carbon Technology deployment across various industrial sectors
in India. An additional fund of INR 1600 million is also expected to be allocated by the
GoI towards this project. The goal of the project is to develop innovative EE
technologies consistent with stakeholder demand, & their large scale adoption in
various industries in the country. To begin with the project will focus on (a) industrial low
- grade waste heat recovery, (b) pumping efficiency, and (c) air conditioning / space
cooling applications.
The project will invite & run innovation challenges in the identified focus areas, provide
financial support for development of initial prototypes of the technologies that are
selected through innovation competitions, and subsequently assist the winning
innovators in adoption of the newly developed technologies in the target industries (by
way of debt / equity financing, loans / grants, providing marketing opportunities,
assisting in pilot testing of products in industries, on issues related to patents, etc.).
Expert panels will be appointed by BEE for designing the innovation strategies for the
identified technical domains, as also to coordinate with the user segment in order to
assess the scope for future induction of the new technologies by the industry. Adequate
opportunity would be given to various entities (such as start-up entrepreneurs, industrial
/ academic / R&D institutions / National & State Laboratories - individually, or as
consortia, interested industries, Scientific & Research Organisations recognized by the
Department of Scientific & Industrial Research (DSIR) of the GoI, etc.) to participate in
the innovation challenges in order to encourage maximum stakeholder involvement in
7
this initiative. The project will provide deployment support (including financial
assistance) to the innovators who successfully qualify in the technology competitions.
This would include assistance on issues such as legal, intellectual property rights,
incubation, deployment of the technologies in industries, etc. The project will be
overseen by a high level Steering Committee which would monitor its progress and
provide guidance / directions to the implementation team as and when required.
The Project would be implemented over a period of 5 years commencing from June /
July 2015 (tentatively).
