Energy Conservation Act, 2001

•An Act to provide for efficient use of energy and its conservation and for matters connected therewith.

• The bureau (government department ) established for the purpose of this act is called BEE ( bureau of Energy Efficiency)

Fr.CRIT,Vashi 2

Features of the Energy Conservation Act 2001

• The Act empowers the Central Government and, in some instances, State Governments to:

• specify energy consumption standards for notified equipment and appliances;

• direct mandatory display of label on notified equipment and appliances;

• prohibit manufacture, sale, purchase and import of notified equipment and appliances not conforming to energy consumption standards;

Fr.CRIT,Vashi 3

Features of the Energy Conservation Act 2001

• notify energy intensive industries, other establishments, and commercial buildings as designated consumers;

• establish and prescribe energy consumption norms and standards for designated consumers;

• prescribe energy conservation building codes for efficient use of energy and its conservation in new commercial building(having connected load 500kW)

Features of the Energy Conservation Act 2001

• direct designated consumers to - • designate or appoint certified energy manager in

charge of activities for efficient use of energy and its conservation;

• get an energy audit conducted by an accredited energy auditor in the specified manner and interval of time;

• furnish information with regard to energy consumed and action taken on the recommendation of the accredited energy auditor to the designated agency;

Fr.CRIT,Vashi 6

Features of the Energy Conservation Act 2001

• direct designated consumers to - • comply with energy consumption norms and

standards;

• prepare and implement schemes for efficient use of energy and its conservation if the prescribed energy consumption norms and standards are not fulfilled;

• get energy audit of the building conducted by an accredited energy auditor in this specified manner and intervals of time;

Fr.CRIT,Vashi 7

Features of the Energy Conservation Act 2001

• State Governments may – – revise the energy conservation building codes– direct every owners or occupier of a new

commercial building or building complex being a designated consumer to comply with the provisions of energy conservation building codes;

– direct, if considered necessary for efficient use of energy and its conservation, any designated consumer to get energy audit conducted by an accredited energy auditor in such manner and at such intervals of time as may be specified

Fr.CRIT,Vashi 8

Establishment of BEE

• The mission of the Bureau of Energy Efficiency is to develop policy 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.

Fr.CRIT,Vashi 9

Establishment of BEE

• Under the provisions of the Act, BEE has been established w.e.f. 1st March, 2002 by merging the previous Energy Management Centre, a society under the Ministry of Power.

• The Bureau would be responsible to lead the improvement of energy efficiency of the economy through various regulatory and promotional instruments.

Fr.CRIT,Vashi 10

Establishment of BEE• The primary objective of BEE is to reduce energy

intensity in the Indian economy through adoption of result oriented approach. The broad objectives of the BEE are: – to assume leadership and provide policy framework and

direction to national energy efficiency and conservation efforts and programmes;

– to coordinate policies and programmes on efficient use of energy and its conservation with the involvement of stakeholders;

– to establish systems and procedures to measure, monitor and verify energy efficiency results in individual sectors as well as at national level;

Fr.CRIT,Vashi 11

Establishment of BEE• To leverage multi-lateral, bi-lateral and private sector

support in implementation of the EC Act and programmes for efficient use of energy and its conservation

• To demonstrate energy efficiency delivery mechanisms, through private-public partnership

• To plan, manage and implement energy conservation programmes as envisaged in the EC Act.

Fr.CRIT,Vashi 12

Functions of BEE• arrange and organize training of personnel

and specialists in the techniques for efficient use of energy and its conservation;

• develop testing and certification procedures and promote testing facilities;

• strengthen consultancy services;

Fr.CRIT,Vashi 13

Functions of BEE• create awareness and spread information;

• promote research and development;

• formulate and facilitate implementation of pilot projects and demonstration projects;

• promote use of energy efficient processes, equipment, devices and systems;

Fr.CRIT,Vashi 14

Functions of BEE• take steps to encourage preferential treatment for

use of energy efficient equipment or appliances;

• promote innovative financing of energy efficiency projects;

• give financial assistance to institutions for promoting efficient use of energy and its conservation;

• prepare educational curriculum on efficient use of energy and its conservation and

• implement international co-operation programmes relating to efficient use of energy and its conservation. Fr.CRIT,Vashi 15

Functions of BEE• Take all measures necessary to create

awareness and distribute information for efficient use of energy and its conservation;

• Arrange and organize training of personnel and specialists in the techniques for efficient use of energy and its conservation;

• Strengthen consultancy services in the field of energy conservation;

• Promote research and development in the field of energy conservation;

BEE star rating Labeling programme

• Central Government to, in consultation with BEE,– Specify equipment and appliances for labeling– Specify the energy consumption norms and

standards– Direct display of labels on specified appliances– Enforce minimum efficiency standards by

prohibiting manufacture, sale, and import of products not meeting the minimum standards

• BEE to– Recommend to the Central Government on labeling

Fr.CRIT,Vashi 17

What are Energy Efficiency label

Informative labels affixed to manufactured products describing the product’s energy performance (energy consumption, energy efficiency, energy cost, or combinations thereof) enabling consumers to make informed purchases

Fr.CRIT,Vashi 18

Types of Labels• Endorsement labels*

– Offer a “seal of approval” that a product meets certain pre-specified criteria

• Comparative labels– Allow consumers to

compare energy use among all available models in order to make an informed choice.

Stars (1-5) display the relative efficiency of the product

Daily/annual Power consumption is used for comparing the actual

energy use between different models*

Important product specifications like brand, model, type, capacity,

efficiency (EER), etc

BEE logo?

* Note: Nationwide market research underway to fine-tune the label design

• The label will highlight energy consumption and annual operating cost

• Annual national average electricity cost is required

• AS(P) had agreed to research and publish such a number
