STATEMENT

STATEMENT REFERRED TO IN REPLY TO PARTS (a) TO (e) OF STARRED QUESTION NO.185 TO BE ANSWERED IN THE LOK SABHA ON 04.07.2019 REGARDING POWER SUPPLY TO INDUSTRIAL SECTOR.

*********

(a) & (b) : Electricity is a concurrent subject. Providing electricity to all the consumers including in the industrial sector is the primary responsibility of concerned State Governments/Power Distribution Companies (DISCOMs).  At present the installed generation capacity in the country  is  around  357  GW  which  is  sufficient  to  meet  the  demand  of electricity in the country including the industrial sector.

As  per  the  clause  (g)  and  (n)  of  Section  14  of  the  Energy Conservation  Act,  2001  the  Government  prescribed  energy  performance norms for efficient use of energy by high energy consuming industries in 8 sectors  under  National  Mission  for  Enhanced  Energy  Efficiency  (NMEEE)

(c) to (e) : through Perform, Achieve and Trade (PAT) initiative.

PAT cycle - I started from April 2012 under which targets were notified to reduce the Specific Energy Consumption (SEC) of 478 Designated Consumers (DCs) from 8 sectors viz. Aluminum, Cement, ChlorAlkali,  Fertilizer,  Iron  &  Steel,  Paper  &  Pulp,  Thermal  Power  Plant  and Textile.  The  overall  SEC  reduction  targets  aimed  to  secure  total  energy saving  of  6.686  Million  Tonne  of  Oil  Equivalent  (MTOE)  in  3  years.  PAT Cycle-I  was  completed  on  31st  March,  2015.  The  total  energy  savings achieved  in  PAT  Cycle-I  was  8.67  MTOE  which  exceeded  the  target  by about 30 percent. This energy saving translates into avoiding of about 31 million tonne of CO2 emissions.

The  State/UT-  wise  details  of  achievements  under  the  PAT Cycle-I are given at Annexure.

Subsequent  to  PAT  cycle-I,  PAT  cycles-II,  III,  IV  &  V  have been initiated with total 956 Designated Consumers (DCs) from 13 sectors being given targets. The total targeted saving from cycles-II, III, IV and V is about 11.14 MTOE for the country.
