- (d) & (e) : The Ministry of Power, Government of India has fixed energy savings  targets  for  XII  Plan  period  (2012-17)  as  60.5  BU  (billion  units) through  various  energy  efficiency  interventions.  In  order  to  achieve  the energy saving targets, the following interventions have been implemented:-
- (i) Standards  &  Labeling  programme  for  appliances  to  provide  the consumer an informed choice about the energy saving and thereby the cost saving potential of the relevant marketed product.
- (ii) Prescription  of  Specific  energy  consumption  norms  for  energy intensive industries notified as designated consumers and implemented through Perform Achieve and Trade (PAT) Scheme.
- (iii) Formulation  of  Energy  Conservation  Building  Codes  (ECBC)  for energy efficiency improvement in commercial buildings.
- (iv) Design-guidelines  for  energy  efficiency  in  multi-storied  residential buildings.
- (v) Demand Side Management (DSM) in Municipal, Household, Agricultural and Small & Medium Enterprise (SME) sectors.
- (vi) Strengthening of State Designated Agency for Energy Efficiency.
- (vii) Promotion of energy efficient LED lamps through DSM based Unnat Jyoti  Affordable  LEDs  for  All  (UJALA)  &  Street  Lighting  National Programme (SLNP).
- (viii)  Promotion of Energy Efficient Fans and Agriculture pumpsets.
