TAKEAWAYS FOR STATES
State EE Index 2019 shows that majority of the initiatives taken by states are related to Policies and Regulations. Most
of the first-generation energy efficiency policies prepared by BEE under programmes on Standards & Labelling (S&L),
ECBC, PAT, etc. are understood by states. However, states should now focus on ensuring complete compliance to realize
actual savings. Based on the analysis of responses submitted by states this year, a three-point agenda is suggested for
consideration by state agencies:
1. Proactive role by states in policy formulation and implementation: It is observed that states have confined their
role towards customization of national policies and legislative approval. Now states must take an active authority
to exercise powers under the EC Act and start formulating supporting policies and implementation rules to shift the
focus from “policies in place” to “policies successfully implemented”.
2. Strengthening the mechanism for data capture, management and public availability of data: Availability of
updated and correct data has been the Achilles heel for states. The SDA is the competent authority within the
state for all matters related to energy efficiency. For this year’s Index, SDAs proactively contacted various state
departments to gather data. However, SDAs should significantly enhance their engagement with state departments,
DISCOMs and private sector organisations beyond one-time data collection. Doing so will enable effective
implementation of EE programmes, enable SDAs to measure and monitor progress, and most importantly provide
a feedback mechanism for modifications in EE programs and policies and setting of realistic targets. Building a
robust system for demand side energy consumption data collection and analysis at local and state level will also
contribute significantly towards a national Energy Data Management System
3. Enhancing the credibility of EE schemes: Ensuring the integrity of programs that have direct or indirect linkage
with common consumers is an important pillar of energy efficiency market transformation. To deal with this
challenge, states must demonstrate an approach which includes enforcement and compliance checks. Rules
related to mandatory energy audits, mandatory sale and purchase of BEE star labelled appliances will not be
effective unless an inspection process is established and strengthened. States must also make independent
monitoring and verification of savings integral to all EE policies and programs.

Note: The Total Primary Energy Supply (TPES) includes primary energy used for electricity generation from all sources including Coal, Oil, Gas, Nuclear,
Hydro, Solar, Wind, other renewables; and non-electricity generation utilisation (for energy) of Coal, Oil, and Gas (CNG and PNG). The state-wise data on
TPES for Coal, Oil, and Gas is derived from the data available on India Energy Dashboard, which in turn is compiled from the limited disaggregated data
gathered from multiple sources including Coal Directory of India, Indian Petroleum & Natural Gas Statistics and Data Bank, Department of Commerce’s
export-import database, etc. Only one-fifth of the total CNG and PNG consumption is accounted for due to non-availability of state-wise data for the
remaining gas consumption. Uniform calorific value has been assumed for all oil products due to non-availability of oil product wise segregated data at
