Highlights of the programme
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
-
Technical Assistance and Capacity Building of energy intensive SME sectors.
-
Promoting Energy Efficiency and Technology Upgradation in SMEs through ESCO route.
-
Energy mapping of SME clusters on pan India basis
In addition, Bureau of Energy Efficiency joined hand with multi-Lateral organisations (World Bank and UNIDO) for joint implementation of strategic policy focussed initiatives for MSMEs with graceful support from Global Environment Finance (GEF).
BEE under the Indo-Japan Energy Dialogue, Developed Energy Conservation Guidelines for Large and 25 MSME Sectors
Market Transformation of Brick Sector - Initiate an accreditation-based model, ‘Energy Efficient Enterprise (E3)’ certification scheme for Brick Sector to accelerate energy and resource efficient technology modernization in the clay brick manufacturing industry through market-based approach. Designed to create demand and push supply and at the same time explore the opportunities for maximizing skilled employment, improve manufacturing investments and environmental benefits in line with a resilient and green economic development pathway and to fulfil the vision for ‘aatmanirbhar bharat’.
Perform Achieve and Earn (PAE) Mechanism – BEE is all geared up for operating market-based mechanism for MSMEs, similar to PAT.
Bureau identify the SME Programme has collated ocean of knowledge and opportunities for wide variety of stakeholders in MSMEs directly or indirectly. In order to showcase the project developments, Status/ Achievements of programmes, access to open-source resources, library of knowledge materials and information, BEE has developed the knowledge portal ‘SIDHIEE’ - Simplified Digital Hands-on Information on Energy Efficiency in MSMEs.
Energy & Resource Mapping Study
The Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) undertook an extensive Energy Mapping study encompassing 40 energy-intensive Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSME) clusters. These clusters represented a diverse range of industries, including Foundry, Forging, Paper, Steel Re-rolling, Pharma, Bricks, Glass & Refractory, and Chemical.
As part of this comprehensive study, BEE conducted over 400 detailed energy audits within these sectors. These audits involved thorough examinations of energy consumption, usage patterns, and potential areas for efficiency improvements. The goal was to gain a deep understanding of how energy was utilized within these clusters and identify opportunities to enhance energy efficiency and promote the adoption of renewable energy sources.
Through this extensive data collection and analysis process, BEE aimed to provide valuable insights and recommendations to help these energy-intensive MSME clusters reduce their energy consumption, lower operational costs, and contribute to a more sustainable and environmentally friendly industrial sector.
Ongoing Activities
Currently, BEE is actively conducting an Energy Mapping study focused on 15 Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSME) clusters across three distinct sectors: Textile,Food Processing, and Leather. This ongoing study aims to analyze and assess the energy consumption patterns within these specific industrial sectors.
Within the framework of this study, more than 150 detailed energy audits are being carried out. These audits involve a comprehensive examination of energy usage and practices within each cluster, identifying key areas where energy efficiency improvements can be made.
The primary objective of this ongoing initiative is to gather valuable data and insights that can inform strategies for enhancing energy efficiency and promoting the integration of renewable energy sources within these MSME clusters. By doing so, BEE aims to support these industries in reducing their energy consumption, lowering operating costs, and contributing to both economic and environmental sustainability. This study is an integral part of BEE's commitment to fostering sustainable industrial practices and facilitating the adoption of energy-efficient technologies within the MSME sector.
Scaling-Up of EE/RE Technology Implementation in selected MSME Sectors
BEE is actively incorporating the energy-efficient technologies and strategies that were identified during the Energy Mapping study. Scaling-up of RE/EE implementation programme is currently ongoing inf four energy intensive sectors (Foundry, Forging, Steel re-rolling, Paper).
URJA Mitra
To maintain a consistent presence in the cluster, BEE has enlisted experienced CEA as "Urja Mitra." This individual will serve as a key advocate for advancing energy efficiency and renewable energy within the cluster and will also offer technical assistance and advisory services to MSME enterprises. URJA Mitra will serve as the intermediary between the bureau and the stakeholders within the MSME cluster.
SDA
BEE supports the SDAs to carry out various activities in different MSME clusters. The following are some of the activities carried out by the SDAs:
- Capacity Building
- Energy Audits
- Technology Demonstration
- Establishment of Energy Management Centre
To encourage the energy efficient technologies and operational practices in SME sectors in India, BEE has initiated the energy efficiency interventions in selected 25 SMEs clusters during the XI plan. A study was conducted to assess energy use and technology gap at unit level, development of the cluster specific energy efficiency manuals, preparation of Detailed Project Reports (DPRs) on energy efficient technologies and capacity building and knowledge enhancement of man-force involved in SMEs. During the XII plan, implementations of 100 technology demonstration projects in 5 SME sectors are envisaged to facilitate large scale replication.
