28 INITIATIVES TAKEN BY THE DEPARTMENT OF RENEWABLE ENERGY, HARYANA Haryana is the first State in the country to issue a comprehensive notification dated on Energy Conservation Measures. It makes:- Use of solar water heating systems mandatory in industries, Hospitals and Nursing homes, Hotels, Jail Barracks, Housing Complexes, residential buildings built on a plot of size 500 sq.yds and above, all Govt. buildings, Hostels, Tourism Complexes and Universities etc. Use of conventional bulbs in govt. buildings banned CFLs and T-5 tube lights in Govt. buildings made mandatory. Use of ISI marked pump sets and accessories for new tube- well connections made mandatory. Incorporation of energy efficient building design and RE technologies for new Govt. buildings made mandatory. This step has been appreciated by the Ministry of Power, Govt. of India and has circulated it to other States for emulation.

29 INITIATIVES TAKEN BY THE DEPARTMENT OF RENEWABLE ENERGY, HARYANA To promote SWHS, Rebate in electricity bills for domestic users – Rs.1200/- per year for 100 lpd system, Rs.2400/- for 200 lpd system & Rs.3600/- per year for 300 lpd system for three years. Capital subsidy on domestic solar water Rs.5000/- for 100 lpd & Rs.10000/- for 200 lpd & above for all Haryana residents. Scheme on providing financial incentives on the purchase of ISI marked Rs. 400/- per HP of pump with max. ceiling of Rs. 5000/- per farmer. Purchase of energy efficient 4 to 5 star rated products has been made mandatory for all Govt. Departments / Corporations.

30 ENERGY CONSERVATION IN BUILDINGS A new scheme on energy audit of Govt. buildings launched. Energy Audit of 10 Govt. buildings completed. Energy Audit of the Haryana Raj Bhawan & Chief Minister residence completed. The Energy audit shows that with a nominal investment a substantial energy can be saved in the govt. buildings. The average investment is about Rs.7 lacs per building with a pay back period of just three years. Broad guidelines circulated to all line departments and the same are available on HAREDA’s website Manual on Sustainable Building Design prepared by HAREDA under Asia Urbs Programme circulated and available on website

31 ACHIEVEMENTS In agriculture sector HP capacity of ISI marked pumpsets installed resulting in saving of 4.8 MU of electricity translating into a saving of Rs.1.92 crores in the electricity bills. In Govt. buildings, 70,000 CFLs and 37,000 T-5 tube lights replaced with an investment of Rs.1.89 crores resulting in annual electricity saving of 21.6 MU & saving in the bills of Rs.8.66 crores. The pay back period is less than three months. With the promotional measures taken by the Haryana Govt., the installation of solar water heating systems increased in (1,61,000 lpd) by 138% over the previous year resulting in a saving of MU. 499 villages made as CFL villages leading to electricity saving of 65 MU translating into saving of Rs.26 crores in the electricity bills.

32 UNIQUE INITIATIVES OF HARYANA GOVT. Haryana is the first state in the country to have decided to replace conventional lighting fixtures with energy efficient CFLs and T-5 (28 watt) tube lights in all Govt. buildings by 1 st January, The Department has taken up an innovative project for implementation of energy efficient lighting street lighting in Municipal Committee, Hisar & Panchkula & HUDA Sectors, Panchkula through ESCO mode which shall save about 2-3 MW peak load power with full investment by ESCO. UHBVN has signed MoUs M/s OSRAM Ltd. and with M/s Indo Asian for distributing CFLs at discounted rates under a CDM project. For new electrical connection, use of CFL made mandatory & for BPL Consumers, two 20 Watt CFLs will be provided free of cost at the time of release of connection.
