National Mission on Enhanced Energy Efficiency (NMEEE) – PAT Scheme

companies, in their continual improvement process, better their targets fixed, they can sell credits to non-performers and if the latter happens to be State PSUs or alike where low cost capital is one of the deterrents for energy efficiency and some of them having ‘red’ balance sheet, it is likely that the deal may fail. BEE should be taking all these factors and many more into account when the PAT scheme is being detailed. 714 seem to be a good manageable number in a country like India and therefore all concerns on PAT scheme should be possible to address. Looking at 714, after fixing neither over- nor under-ambitious targets, it may also be wise to see what really prohibits them to enhance their energy efficiency. If there is a chance to address individual problems with tailor-made solutions, like extending technical assistance to PSUs through the newly formed Energy Efficiency Services Limited (the JV company of BEE); providing finance through the BEE (being) established Partial Risk Guaranty Facility, that will provide back-to-back guarantees to banks for loans to energy-efficiency projects so as to reduce the perceived risks of these projects; capacity building / sensitization of different levels / categories of officers within these 714 units, then it would be better to look in these lines as well. Probably this can lead to individual agreements with these 714 units wherein they pledge to reduce their energy intensity to a certain level, vis-à-vis a host of facilitation from BEE through its different service providers. Efforts from SDAs and professional associations like SEEM would certainly supplement. R Harikumar Vice President
