2.28 ENERGY
CONSERVATION
Confronted as we are with the increasing energy shortages
on the one hand and scarcity of investible resources on the
other, the most cost effective option available to the
country for bridging the gap between the demand and
supply for energy is Energy Demand Management and
Conservation. Energy Conservation has accordingly been
identified by the Department of Power as one of the thrust
areas for the Eighth Five Year Plan. It is aimed to improve
the efficiency of existing supply base and reduce the
energy consumption in the energy intensive units through
various measures. The Department of Power functions as
the nodal point for facilitating the implementation of a
coordinated strategy on Energy Conservation. The Energy
Management Centre (EMC) acts as its executive agency.
The strategy being followed is the promotion of energy
conservation in energy intensive sectors by assessing the
efficiency of energy use through energy audits, evolving
action plan for reducing the level of energy consumption
per unit of prodcution, and monitoring the targets.
Measures taken in the industrial and other core sectors of
the economy include the promotion of energy savings
through introduction of efficient technologies &
demonstration projects, fiscal incentives and
standardisation of electrical equipment. Studies have been
undertaken to evaluate specific technical and policy
options, training of professionals to create a cadre of
energy managers and auditors, and education of
consumers through publicity campaign.
During the Eighth Plan, the strategy proposed is to make
energy conservation a mass movement, encourage
consumers to undertake energy audits and to start
demonstration projects, besides intensifying the other
connected activities.
2. AWARNESS PROGRAMME
As a part of awareness programme, 14th December every
year has been dedicated as the National Energy
Conservation Day with a view to make Energy
Conservation a people's movement, a part of their daily
discipline and as a way of life. On 14th December, 1991,
a function presided over by the President of India was
organised. National Energy Conservation week was also
organised all over the country from 14th December to
20th December, 1991. Simultaneously, an intensive
awareness campaign was undertaken.
