Frequently asked questions
Designated consumers notified under the Energy Conservation Act, 2001, such as cement, thermal power, iron and steel, aluminium, fertiliser, textile, pulp and paper, petrochemical and refinery units, railways, DISCOMs and large commercial buildings, must have energy audits conducted by a BEE accredited energy auditor at the intervals notified by BEE.
A preliminary audit is a quick review of bills, records and a site walk-through that points out obvious savings. A detailed audit adds instrument measurements, energy balances and a full list of savings measures with investment, savings and payback for each.
Perform, Achieve and Trade is a market-based scheme run by BEE. Designated consumers receive specific energy consumption reduction targets for each cycle. Units that beat their target earn Energy Saving Certificates (ESCerts); units that fall short must buy ESCerts or face penalties.
CCTS, notified in 2023 under the amended Energy Conservation Act, sets up the Indian Carbon Market. Obligated entities receive greenhouse gas emission intensity targets. Entities that beat their targets earn Carbon Credit Certificates that can be traded, and those that miss must buy them. A voluntary offset mechanism runs alongside.
It depends on the size and complexity of the facility. Site work for a typical plant runs from a few days to a few weeks, followed by analysis and the final report. We share a firm schedule after the first discussion.
