Highlights of the programmes
During the inception, BEE’s programmatic initiatives started with technology gap assessment studies in 35 Energy intensive SME clusters of 12 Sectors. The scheme implemented demonstration of energy efficient technologies in 21 units of 4 selected clusters for further replication of the technologies across the sector. Several cases studies on best practices, tutorials on energy efficiency and technologies were developed and widely disseminated across for promoting the knowledge.
With the collective efforts of Bureau towards improving the energy performance, the current state of awareness, perception and responsiveness towards energy efficiency programmes of MSME segment in India. The programme further expanded to cater following activities
Achievements of the programme
