The scheme seeks to leverage CDM revenues as a result
of energy consumption reduction to reduce the price of the
CFLs. BEE will monitor the scheme under an approved
methodology of CMD Executive Board of UNFCCC. Target
replacement of 400 million incandescent bulbs with CFLs
could save an estimated 6000-10000MW demand.
Designated Consumers and the Small & Medium
Enterprises (SMEs)
BEE has proposed a program to improve the energy
efficiency of the the SMEs and promote energy conservation
measures by a mix of government, financial institutions and
private support. For this, BEE has initially identified 25 SMEs
clusters in the. country which have immense potential
savings. The notification for the designated consumers was
issued in March 2007 for 9 industrial sectors and other
establishments such as Railways. They will have to appoint
energy managers and submit annual returns on energy use
to SDAs.
School Curriculum
Under the school education program a pilot project was
undertaken by the Bureau of Energy Efficiency for the school
children and as a result of BEE s efforts, NCERT has revised
9th standard science book of the NCERT scheme by
incorporating text on the energy conservation.
