ENERGY STATUS IN INDIA
nergy means any form of energy derived from fossil fuels, nuclear substances or materials,
Hydro-electricity and includes electrical energy or electricity generated from renewable sources
of energy or biomass connected to the grid.
About 20% of worlds energy is generated from coal and about 60% of worlds energy is generated
from oil and natural gas. Because of extensive use of fossil fuel, such as coal, oil and natural gas, as
primary source of energy today, the harmful emissions of GHG (Green House Gasses) such as
Carbon Dioxide increases the GHG level in the atmosphere which traps the extra heat reflected from
the earth resulting rise in temperature. Carbon dioxide and some other gases in the atmosphere act
like glass in a green house. They let Sun’s rays through, but trap some of the heat, which would
otherwise be reflected back into space. This Green house effect always existed.
Scientists believes that global warming will cause the average World temperature rise by one Degree
Celsius by the year 2020 and four Degree Celsius by the end of 21st century.
Thus energy conservation has emerged as one of the major issues in recent years. Energy
requirement in our country is increasing in a very rapid rate. India’s demand for commercial energy
in 2020 is expected to increase by 250% from today’s level. Coal accounts for about 50% of primary
commercial energy today and is further increase its share. Despite its low per capita CO2 emission of
less than 1 ton, India contributed over 4% of world total CO2 emission in 2000.
While efforts are being made to improve availability of various energy sources, there is still a
continuing gap between demand and supply of energy. Conservation and efficient utilization of
energy resources play a vital role in narrowing the gap between demand and supply of energy.
Improving energy efficiency is probably the most profitable thing that can be done in the short term.
Energy conservation is the quickest, cheapest and most practical method of overcoming energy
shortage. It is found that there is major scope of energy conservation in electrical distribution system
and in consumer’s installation.
While using energy, a considerable amount of energy is wasted. It is estimated that there exists a
potential of saving of about 30% energy used by us in daily life. In India commercial energy demand
is growing high at annual rate over 6%. It is estimated that by 2020 the total requirement of energy
will be more than 250% of today’s need. But the supply of energy is not growing at par with
demand.

By reducing consumption of energy through energy conservation also helps us to save precious
fossil fuel like coal, gas, oil which are used by the generating companies to generate electricity. Also
reduction of use of fossil fuel leads to reduction of emission of harmful gasses into the atmosphere.
The prime target sectors are the Domestic & Commercial, Industrial, Agriculture and large
buildings, which are the main consumers of energy. By adopting proper energy efficiency in these
areas, considerable energy conservation may be achieved.
Many energy efficient products, once costly and exotic, are now inexpensive and commonplace
ones. A good quality Compact Fluorescent Lamp costs more than Rs.500 a decade ago now costs
around Rs.120. They use 75 to 80 percent less energy than conventional incandescent lamps and also
lasts more than 10 times longer. As a conventional lamp produces a considerable amount of heat,
most of the energy consumed by a bulb to produce light is wasted as heat. As such, CFL lamps are
more energy efficient. as they do not produce heat and consume about 20% of energy consumed by
an incandescent lamp, while producing same illumination.
In India, general people use electricity for illumination purpose mainly in their houses in addition to
running household appliances. So, designing the houses skillfully to be illuminated primarily by
available daylight will result in considerable saving of electricity, which in turn will save money.
Designing a building with maximum utilization of daylight and use of energy efficient lamps and
appliances will certainly reduce the cost of energy use, which in turn also will make a significant
contribution towards ecology balance.

ENERGY CONSERVATION ACT 2001 AND IT’S INSTITUTIONALIZATION
Background
Energy conservation has emerged as one of the central issue in national economic agenda in recent
years. A potential of 20-25 percent reduction of energy consumption from the present level is
possible in the different sectors, without forgoing any of the end-use benefits of energy. The
individual and the society stand to gain from conservation and improved energy efficiency, both in
terms of money saved by reducing energy costs in the short run, as well as reducing investment
needs for energy production in the long run. Energy conservation also reduces or avoids the
tremendous social and environmental costs resulting from in energy generation and wasteful
consumption, such as emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) and other pollutants and depletion of scarce
resources and damage to the environment. Despite the relatively low per capita energy use in India,
there is a need to increase energy availability to meet basic needs and developmental goals.
However, the high level of energy intensity in some of the sectors is also a matter of concern. Hence,
conservation has to go hand in hand with generation efficiency. A systematic understanding of
energy consumption patterns is needed in each sector, and a strategy has to be evolved to supply
energy efficiently and curtail wasteful consumption.
The relevance of legislation to improve end –use energy efficiency in all sectors of the economy was
realized as an outcome of a national debate on the need for strengthening the energy conservation
movement. The extent of importance attached by the central government to energy conservation is
reflected in promulgation of a separate Act ‘Energy Conservation Act 2001’, which was specifically
enacted to promote energy conservation. The preamble says the EC Act is intended to ‘promote
efficient and environmentally benign policies’ related to energy use.
The Energy Conservation Act 2001 is primarily aimed at the intensive consumers of energy called
Designated Consumers. The Energy Conservation Act has created the Bureau of Energy Efficiency
(BEE) under the Ministry of Power with the primary objective of reducing energy intensity of the
Indian Economy.
The basic objectives of the Act are:
� Provide a policy framework and direction to the national energy conservation activities.
� Coordinate policies and programs on efficient use of energy with the stakeholders.
� Establish systems and procedures to verify, measure and monitor EE improvements.
� Leverage multilateral, bilateral and private sector support to implement the EC Act.
� Demonstrate EE delivery systems through public-private partnerships.
The Energy Conservation Act lays down clear action plans and envisages the establishment of a
specific organization to convert these plans into reality through various regulatory and promotional
interventions. The thrust areas identified for the implementation of the Energy Conservation Act are:
01. Indian Industry Program for Energy Conservation
02. Demand Side Management
03. Standards and Labeling Program for notified equipment and appliances
5
04. Energy efficiency in Buildings and Establishments
05. Energy Conservation Building Codes
06. Professional Certification and Accreditation
07. Manuals and Codes
08. Energy Efficiency Policy Research Program
09. School Education
10. Delivery Mechanisms for Energy Efficiency Services
BEE has a mission to institutionalize energy efficiency, set up a delivery mechanism for energy
efficiency services and to provide leadership to implement a nation-wide energy efficiency program.
The EC Act provides for regulatory functions for market development and information management,
and other enabling functions to achieve its objectives.
The BEE has powers to direct the designated consumers to abide by energy consumption norms and
to get their energy consumption audited are met by specified industry or building complexes. The
power supply utilities are also included in the list of 15 categories of Designated Consumers. The
major regulatory functions of BEE include: Performance standards and labeling; Introduction of
energy conservation building codes; and Activities focused on designated consumers. The energy efficiency market development functions of BEE include sponsoring research and
implementation of demonstration projects; development of performance contracts and promotion of
energy service companies (ESCOs), measurement and verification (M&V) protocols; technology adoption and advancement; training and educational programs and innovative financing of energy
efficiency projects.
BEE also has a critical information management function that includes partnering industry
associations and entering into voluntary agreements on sharing data and information; networking
with ESCOs and energy management consulting organizations.
BEE would function as an information-clearing house on the rational use of energy and
commissioning and preparation of publications and promotional kits.
Ministry of Power, under Section 61 of the Electricity Act, has set up electricity regulatory
commissions the mandate to regulate electricity tariff and lays down the guiding factors to be
considered while determining tariff. Section 61 C requires regulatory commissions to set tariff by
considering “ the factors which would encourage competition, efficiency, economical use of
resources, good performance and optimum investments” Apart from such a strong legal approach,
energy conservation has found priority in many other related initiatives of the MoP. For example, the
MoP has insisted on DSM and energy conservation measures in the MoUs signed with several state
governments / utilities under its financial assistance program (called APDRP).
During the past 3 years, BEE is reported to have initiated actions on the thrust areas and moved
forward, in establishing institutional mechanisms and infrastructural facilities under the mandate of
the Energy Conservation Act and took steps to involve industries, equipment manufacturers,
financial institutions and other stakeholders for implementing the provisions of Energy Conservation
Act.

UTTARAKHAND STATE GOVT. POLICY FOR HARNESSING
RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES
(Annexure of G.O. No.263/I (2)/2008-04 (8)-96/2001, dated 29-1-2008)
1. Preamble
Uttarakhand is richly endowed with natural renewable resources for generating electricity. Most
of this could be harnessed through environmentally clean Medium & Large Hydroelectric Projects (i.e.
projects with capacity in excess of 25 MW); it is estimated that a capacity of more than 20,000
MW is yet to be tapped through these sources.
In addition, the State has significant Renewable Energy (RE) Sources that includes sites for developing
Micro (up to 100 KW), Mini (100KW-5 MW) & Small (5-25 MW) Hydro power projects as well as
sources for generating electricity through Biomass/Agro residue, Wind power, Solar energy,
Cogeneration etc. This policy aims at expeditiously harnessing these sources of energy that are
non-polluting and are useful for electrification of isolated and remote habitations in Uttarakhand. It is
felt that more than 1,000 MW electrical power could be tapped through these sources before 2020.
2. Objective
To create conditions conducive to Private Sector/Community Participation in power projects
based on RE Sources in the State. In particular:
2.1 To harness the environment friendly RE resources and enhance their contribution to the socio-
economic development of the State.
2.2 To meet and supplement minimum rural energy needs through sustainable RE projects.
2.3 To provide decentralized energy supply to agriculture, industry, commercial and household sector.
2.4 To improve the quality of grid power through such projects, as a consequence of tail-end
generation and feeding.
2.5 To enhance the use of energy sources that assist in mitigating environmental pollution.
2.6 To support efforts for developing, demonstrating and commercializing new and emerging
technologies in the RE sector and, to this end, help establish linkages with national and
international institutions for active collaboration.
7
2.7 To create conditions conducive to the involvement of private investors in RE projects.
2.8 To create public awareness and involve users/local community along with their capacity
building in establishing, operating and managing RE projects.
2.9 To create direct and indirect employment opportunities in the State.
3. Measures To Be Adopted
In order to fulfill the above, the following measures are proposed to be adopted:
Power generation through Hydro projects,
Co-generation in industries such as Sugar, Paper, Fertilizer and Chemical etc.,
Power generation from Biomass / Agricultural residue,
Power generation from urban, municipal and industrial waste,
Power generation from solar energy,
Power generation from wind energy,
Power generation from geothermal energy,
Energy conservation in domestic, agriculture, industrial, commercial and transport sectors
through induction of administrative/statutory/ legislative/ technical solutions and
imposing stringent conditions for all categories of consumers.
4. Potential Proposed To Be Harnessed
Given the geographical conditions of the State of Uttarakhand, and availability of various sources of
energy, the State proposes to harness the resources with active involvement of private/public sector/
community participation in the following manner :–
4.1 Hydroelectric Power:
By virtue of its topographic location,
the State has a number of perennial
streams where water is available
throughout the year. The untapped
potential that could be harnessed
before 2020 through
Micro/Mini/Small Hydro projects is
about 600 MW. The State
Government is committed to
exploiting this potential.
8
4.2 Co-generation:
Uttarakhand has an established industrial base
which is expanding. The Sugar, paper, fertilizer,
chemical, textile and other industries have
an estimated potential of about 220 MW that
could be tapped by co-generation. This would
not only augment the State’ s grid but would
also help captive generation. This potential
would also be exploited by the year 2020.
4.3 Biomass/Agro residue and waste :
It is estimated that about 20 million
Metric Tons of agro residues and
agro industrial/ processing waste is
produced annually in Uttarakhand.
It holds promising potential for
generating decentralized power of
about 300 MW. The State
Government would support and
facilitate harnessing this
potential by 2020.
4.4 Urban, Municipal and Industrial Liquid/ Solid Waste :
At present about 1000 Metric Tons of
Municipal, Urban and Industrial solid/
liquid waste is being produced every day
in the State. Introducing scientific
processing and treatment of this waste
would lead to power generation along
with abatement of environmental
pollution. Initially a small number of such
projects would be supported.
9
4.5 Solar Energy :
The State is endowed
with vast potential of
solar energy and the
Government of
Uttarakhand (GOU) is
keen to tap this
resource; the State would
support efforts for setting
up Solar based power
projects.
4.6 Wind Power :
Sufficient untapped wind power potential is available in the
State. There is immediate necessity for wind mapping in
the State to assess and exploit the available potential. The
State would support such programmes.
4.7 Geothermal Power :
Sufficient untapped geothermal
power potential is available in the
State. There is necessity for
assessment of geothermal energy
in the State to exploit the available
potential. The State would
support programmes for
exploiting the available potential
optimally.
10
4.8 Energy conservation :
Measures related to conservation of energy in
domestic, commercial, agriculture
and industrial sector could lead to 20%
savings in energy consumption.
The State Government is committed
to introducing effective energy
conservation measures in all sectors of
economy. Energy auditing would be made
mandatory in the State especially for
industrial units where the load
exceeds 25 kW. Appropriate mechanisms
would be evolved for effective
implementation of energy conservation
measures.
5. Incentives
5.1 Sale of electricity: O n the electricity generated by the RE projects, UPCL will have the first
right of purchase; such purchases may be made in whole or part as per the requirement of
UPCL. The price of electricity to be purchased by the UPCL will be determined by the UERC;
the price so determined will be announced in advance and will be uniformly applicable to all
producers. The GO U will provide guarantee for the payments to be made by the UPCL for such
purchases.
5.2 Wheeling of electricity: UPCL/PTCUL will undertake to transmit through its grid the power
generated and make it available to the producer for captive use or third party sale within/outside
the State for which wheeling charges uniformly applicable to all producers would be announced in
advance.
5.3 Banking: UPCL would extend the facility of Banking to the developers at mutually agreed terms.
5.4 For evacuating energy from the generation site, requisite network of transmission/ distribution lines
would be provided by UPCL/PTCUL.
5.5 In case of power generation from Municipal Solid Waste, if Government land (belonging to Urban
Local Bodies/Panchayats) is available, the required land for setting up RE projects would be
provided on nominal lease rent of one rupee per square meter per year for a period of 33 years
subject to further renewal on mutually agreed terms and conditions.
11
6. Single Window Clearance For Re Projects:
Setting up of RE projects involves sanctions/clearances from a number of Government
Agencies/Departments. The State Government would provide requisite clearances in a time bound
manner through a single window mechanism. For this purpose a high level empowered committee
(composition at Appendix) is constituted to accord necessary approvals/clearence.
7. Classification Of Projects:
Broadly, RE projects would be classified as
( A ) Hydro Projects (up to 25 MW)

UTTARAKHAND ELECTRICITY SYSTEM CHARACTERISTICS INTRODUCTION
Power Transmission Corporation of Uttarakhand Limited (PTCUL) is a Govt. of Uttarakhand
Enterprise and a Govt. Company as defined under section 617 of the companies Act, 1956. PTCUL
was incorporated under the Companies Act, 1956 on 27th May 2004 with the basic objective of
acquire establish construct and operate extra high voltage, high voltage medium voltage and low
voltage lines and associated sub-stations equipment apparatus, cable and wires and co-ordination of
Transmission facilities for the state of Uttarakhand.
PTCUL is the State Power Transmission Utility (STU) responsible for building, operating and
maintaining Transmission Substations and Lines at Extra High Voltages (EHV) of 132 KV, 220 KV,
400 KV & above. It was carved out of UPCL in June 2004 as a part of Power Sector Reforms
process. PTCUL is also responsible for Load Despatch and Energy Management functions in the
State through Load Despatch Centres (LDCs).As Corporate entity, PTCUL aims to implement best
practices of Project Implementation and Operations & Maintenance Management to ensure
efficiency, reliability and commercial viability of Power Transmission System in the State. It
endeavours to be among the best Transmission Utilities in the Country in these parameters within
three years.
FUTURE GROWTH PLANS
UTTARAKHAND INTEGRATED TRANSMISSION PROJECT (WITH ADB FUNDING)
Government of Uttarakhand has entered into MoUs with Central Generating Cos. (NHPC, NTPC &
others), State Generating Co. (UJVNL) and Private Generating Cos. (GMR, GVK, Reliance &
others) for development of Hydropower upto a total capacity of 6000 MWs (till 2010-11) in
Yamuna, Bhagirathi, Alaknanda and Sharda river basins.
In order to evacuate such huge quantum of power from the upper reaches to suitable pooling points
within the State in an systematic manner an Integrated Transmission Project is planned to be
executed by PTCUL coinciding with completion of the Hydro projects. The Project involving a huge
transmission network of 400 KV & 220 KV Substations and Transmission Lines (Details under
Annexure) is developed with the twin objectives in view-optimal power carriage with the least
corridor and forest invasion.
Being a unique model in the Country involving issues of intra-state and inter-state transmission
systems, MoP, NRPC and CEA have approved these projects to be executed by the STU namely
PTCUL.
The Project involving an estimated outlay of Rs. 2446 Crores is being debt-funded (70%) by Asian
Development Bank with the balance (30%) being equity-funded by the State.

UTTARAKHAND POWER CORPORATION LTD.
Compliance Status Of The Directions Issued By Hon’ble Commission In Its
Tariff Order Dated 18-03-2008
1. Misuse of electricity by staff:

DEMAND SIDE MANAGEMENT (DSM)
Entails actions by the utility that influence the quantity or patterns of use of energy consumed by end
users, such as actions targeting reduction of peak demand or reduction of energy consumed during
periods when energy-supply systems are constrained.
While, Peak demand management does not necessarily decrease total energy consumption but
could be expected to reduce the need for investments in networks and/or power plants, the strategic
conservation would lead to reduce energy consumption.

VOICE OF UTTARAKHAND
Conservation of energy is of paramount importance today as our resources
are being depleted at an alarmingly rapid rate . As a teacher , I encourage
my students to adopt all possible means to save energy like using CFL’s
instead of bulbs and tube lights , using star rated appliances and following
the common habits like switching off the and watching TV only for one’s
favorites programmes , etc. All these have made a remarkable difference
to the electricity bills of the school as well as the student’s parents
K.K. Sharma
Senior Coordinator
Summer Valley School
Dehradun
Using CFL’s, star rated appliances and solar heaters, solar lights and solar
cookers are some of the steps that I have taken to save energy at my
home and I have seen my electricity bills going down very sharply
Rajeev Jain
Computer Professional
Following the energy saving tips of the BEE has helped me to drastically
reduce my electricity bills. I have reduced the use of ACs and other high-
energy consuming appliances to the minimum and encourage my family
members to save energy in every possible in every possible way.
Abhinav Walia
IAS
It is very important for us to conserve energy today if we are to leave a
better world for our children . If we do not save energy today , our
children will curse us after we have left. At home I switch on electric
appliances only when required , an switch off the TV and music system as
soon as I have seen or heard my favorite programmes.

As an Advocate I have to frequently use my computer to draft appeals and
responses. I plan my work in such a way that the computer is switched on
for the minimum possible time. Since the courts are not far away from my
residence. I try and walked to work ,thus saving on fuel also.
I recommend these measures to all my friends, relatives and even my
clients.
Adv. Mrs.Manvi Walia
Hon.Distt.Courts Dehradun
As a CRM of an automobile company, I encourage my technical staff to
use the electrical tools to the barest minimum time possible and to switch
off the lights and fans when not required. I also ensure that the engines
off the vehicles brought in for services / repairs are not run
unnecessarily. these measures have resulted in saving energy.

As a Charted Accountancy article, I am required to use the computer for
long period of time and even go out for audits quite frequently. I try and
minimize the time that the computer is on. I also turn off my vehicle
engine at crossings to save fuel.

Conclusion
The relevance of legislation to improve end –use energy efficiency in all sectors of the economy was
realized as an outcome of a national debate on the need for strengthening the energy conservation
movement.
The Energy Conservation Act lays down clear action plans and envisages the establishment of a
specific organization to convert these plans into reality through various regulatory and promotional
interventions
BEE has a mission to institutionalize energy efficiency, set up a delivery mechanism for energy
efficiency services and to provide leadership to implement a nation-wide energy efficiency program.
Similar to BEE activity our state nodal agency UREDA is also taking the necessary action in the
field of Energy Conservation to fill the gap between demand and supply of electricity in the state and
also make it independent in the Energy sector and to save the revenue of State Govt.
