Bureau of Energy Efficiency
• Established in 2002, under the Energy Conservation Act, 2001.
• Improve energy efficiency through various regulatory and
promotional instruments
– Plan, manage and implement provisions the EC Act
• Appliance standards and labeling
• Industrial energy benchmarks
• Energy Conservation Building Codes
• Monitor energy use in high energy-consumption units
• Certify and accredit energy auditors and energy
managers
– Provide a policy framework and direction to national
energy conservation activities
– Disseminate information and knowledge, and facilitate
pilot and demonstration projects
– Establish EE delivery systems through Public-Private
Partnerships (PPP).

Energy Efficiency – Action Plan
 Bachat Lamp Yojana to promote energy efficient and high quality CFLs as
replacement for incandescent bulbs in households.
 Standards & Labeling Scheme targets high energy end use equipment and
appliances to lay down minimum energy performance standards.
 Energy Conservation Building Code (ECBC) sets minimum energy
performance standards for new commercial buildings.
 Agricultural and Municipal DSM targeting replacement of inefficient
pumpsets, street lighting, etc.
 Operationalising EC Act by Strengthening Institutional Capacity of State
Designated Agencies (SDAs) : The scheme seeks to build institutional
capacity of the newly created SDAs to perform their regulatory,
enforcement and facilitative functions in the respective States.
 Energy Efficiency Improvement in Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs):
To stimulate energy efficiency measures in 25 high energy consuming
small and medium enterprise clusters.

Bachat Lamp Yojna
(CDM Based Lighting Project for House hold)
 First pilot project registered by UNFCCC in
September 2008 .
(National Roll out to be take place shortly)
 Targeted 400 Millions incandescent Lamps and
its replacement to CFLs at the price of
incandescent bulbs to avoid 4000 MW Capacity
Addition.
 The difference in cost would be recovered
through the carbon credits CERs that accrue
because of their lower energy use.
 CFLs distribution by Private-sector companies
and DISCOMs

Mission- S&L Programme
•To reduce overall energy consumption by use
of Energy Efficient equipments/ appliances 18 BU
by 2012 (~3000 MW).
•Targeted an avoided capacity addition of over
3000 MW during XI plan of Govt. of India

Indian Comparative Label Features
•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.

Regulation:
•Policies & its framework
•Standards & Labels to be made mandatory at
appropriate time
Energy Efficiency
Supply Push
Demand Pull
•Design & technology developments
•Align with international trends
•Handholding of some segments of
manufacturers
•Awareness &
dissemination
•Demand for the EE
products

Institutional frame work for regulation
• BIS – National Standards Body
 Formulation & Implementation of National Standards
 Production certification, Quality system certification,
EMS certification etc.
• Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE)
 BEE is established to implement & monitor the Energy
Conservation Act, 2001
 One of the key thrust areas of EC Act, 2001 is Standards &
Labeling Programme
 Formulation of Energy Efficiency Standards.
• Laboratories accredited by National Accreditation Board of
Laboratories
• Educational Institutions.
• Manufacturers and Manufacturing Associations
• Consumer Organizations
• Ministries and key stakeholders.

The avoided capacity addition achieved during 2008-09 was
237% higher than the previous year and exceeded the target
of 1200 MW set by Ministry of Power. It has also resulted in
CO2 emission reduction of 5.2 million tones as against 2.95
million tonnes in 2007-08.

Importance of star labeling
Meaning of star labeling
%
Star labeling is useful for saving electricity
52
It saves energy
20
More star saves more power
19

13
It has more advance technology
5
It depends upon the number of stars in it
3
They told about power saving with star level products
3
 Around 98% felt that star labeling is important for products
12
Role of Consumer
• Look for star label, even for non –
mandatory products
• Use of CFL (home and commercial)
• Role of RWA’s in raising awareness
• Life cost over original cost
