Abstract

India has come a long way in reducing its energy demand since the launch of several initiatives toward implementing energy efficiency. The formation of the Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) as a dedicated agency for promoting energy efficiency in the country has assisted in developing policies and strategies with the prime objective of reducing the energy intensity of the Indian economy. BEE has launched several policies and programs over these years. This chapter analyzes the various policies across the demand sectors since the enactment of the Energy Conservation (EC) Act 2001, coming under the broad umbrella of BEE. These include energy conservation building code (ECBC), Perform Achieve and Trade scheme for large industries and other energy-intensive sectors, market transformation measures and innovative financing schemes, standard and labeling for appliances, energy efficiency programs for Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), and demand-side management programs for sectors including agriculture and municipality. Moreover, this chapter also highlights the barriers and challenges faced during implementing energy efficiency efforts. This analysis will support in identifying critical areas of improvement for future policy decision-making regarding energy efficiency for climate action.
