1.4.5 Demand Side Management (DSM)
Innovation and R&D
The Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) under the Ministry of Power
(MoP), Government of India, has launched the National Mission on
Enhanced Energy Efficiency (NMEEE). It aims to accelerate market-
based approaches to unlock energy efficiency opportunities, estimated
to be about INR 74,000 crores (USD 14.8 billion approx.). It would
achieve annual fuel savings in excess of 23 MTOE, and carbon dioxide
emission mitigation of 98 million tonnes per year by 2014–15 (BEE).
India has made considerable progress in achieving energy savings
through the different programmes launched by the BEE. In the Twelfth
Plan (2012–17), the BEE schemes will see continuity due to their
regulatory, financial, and facilitative activities under these schemes
in achieving energy efficiency. There are proposals to introduce new
schemes that will expedite the use of super-efficient equipment through
incentives. There would be accelerated deployment of energy efficient
appliances through electricity distribution company-led demand side
management (DSM) programmes. Through these activities, an avoided
peak capacity of 7,489 MW can be achieved. At the end of the Twelfth
Plan, the avoided peak capacity is estimated to be 12,350 MW.
The allocations to BEE for the years 2012–14 have increased
(Table 1.9); however, in the current budget year these have been
scaled down. This is largely because not many new schemes have
been launched and efforts are being focussed on consolidating existing
schemes.
