## A N S W E R

## THE MINISTER OF STATE (INDEPENDENT CHARGE) FOR POWER, COAL AND NEW & RENEWABLE ENERGY

( SHRI  PIYUSH GOYAL )

- (a) to (c) : Ministry  of  Power,  Government  of  India  has  mandated  norms  for reducing Specific Energy Consumption (SEC) (energy used per unit of production) for 478 industrial units of 8 high energy consuming sectors, under Perform, Achieve and Trade  (PAT)  scheme  of  National  Mission  for  Enhanced  Energy  Efficiency  (NMEEE). The  target  reduction  for  each  industrial  unit  is  based  on  their  current  levels  of energy efficiency, so that energy efficient units will have low target of percentage reduction, as compared to less energy efficient units which will have higher targets. Overall, the SEC reduction targets aim to secure 4.05% reduction in the total energy consumption of these industries totaling an energy saving of 6.686 million tonne of oil equivalent for the period 2012-13 to 2014-15 (three years).

The State-wise and industry wise detail number of 478 industrial units (Designated Consumers) of 8 sectors covered under PAT are given in Annex.

- (d) : Compliance to such energy saving norms and standards are verified by third  party  Accredited  Energy  Auditors  empanelled  by  Bureau  of  Energy  Efficiency (BEE). Units which are able to or achieve their targets can receive Energy Savings Certificates  (EScerts)  for  their  excess  savings.  The  PAT  scheme  provides  that EScerts shall be tradable, which can be bought by other units under PAT who can use  them  to  meet  their  compliance  requirements.  The  units  which  are  unable  to meet their targets either through their own actions or through purchase of EScerts are liable to financial penalty under the Energy Conservation Act, 2001.
