B ACKGROUND India has world’s 5 th largest installed electricity capacity India is the 4 th largest energy consumer in the world after the United States, China, and Russia. Energy demand is growing at an average of 3.6 percent per annum Energy conservation potential has been assessed as 23 percent, nearly 25,000 MW A 2012 report by the IEA estimated that nearly 25 percent of the population lacks basic access to electricity, while electrified areas suffer from rolling electricity blackouts. Of the 1.4 billion people of the world who have no access to electricity in the world, India accounts for over 300 million. 3

W HY E NERGY E FFICIENCY ? Convenient solution to bridge the gap between demand and supply Reduce capital investment in fuel, mining, transport, water and land required for power generation Ensure sustainable growth of country One Unit of energy saved, avoids three units of fresh capacity addition 16

E NERGY E FFICIENCY Energy Efficiency involves efficient utilisation of resources, which is a key to sustainable development Improving energy efficiency increases productivity, significantly reduces the green house gas emissions 17

M ODES OF E NERGY EFFICIENCY Demand Side Management Standard and Labelling Energy Audits Awareness and Practice 18

S COPE OF E NERGY E FFICIENCY Generation Transmission & Distribution Consumption 19 Improved technology with more focus on research & development Improved technology with better informed consumers to avoid electricity wastage Efficient utilisation of available resources/products

R EGULATORY S UPPORT FOR E NERGY EFFICIENCY D EVELOPMENT Energy Conservation Act, 2001 Established BEE, State designated consumers and funds to promote Energy Efficiency Energy Conservation Building Code sets minimum energy standards for new commercial buildings having a connected load of 100kW or contract demand of 120kVA National Mission on Enhanced Energy Efficiency The National Action Plan on Climate Change was released in June It outlines 8 Missions including National Mission on Enhanced Energy Efficiency (NMEEE). 20
