Prayas’ work on Energy Efficiency and Focus Areas for S&L program Presentation at meeting on “Building network of organizations working on Standards and Labeling in India – a civil society initiative” CEE, Ahmedabad 20th July, 2012
Recent Prayas Work in Energy Efficiency: Super Efficient Equipment Program (SEEP)
Ownership of Appliances in India Growing Rapidly By 2020, more than 70% of the stock of appliances will have been added just after 2010. Urgent need to improve efficiency to avoid being stuck with inefficient stock.
Super-efficient appliances Large gap between average current purchase and highest rated model (5-Star), and even larger gap between highest rated and best commercially available world-wide.
Super Efficient Equipment Program (SEEP) Manufacturer Rebate Program Implemented by BEE & EESL Point of Intervention By expanding geographic scope of program and giving incentives upstream, SEEP will rapidly accelerate the shift to more efficient appliances. : Geographic Scope
Potential Savings from SEEP Relative to Moderate S&L If 60% of stock for only 4 appliances (RACs, Refrig, Fans, TVs) in 2020 is super-efficient, we can save 60 billion kWh and avoid peak capacity of 20,000 MW over a moderate S&L scenario.
Status of SEEP • In principle approval from government • BEE will shortly be rolling out program for ceiling fans with finance from the World Bank • Consultations held with fan manufacturers and other stakeholders • Details of implementation framework being worked out Prayas helped BEE conceptualize SEEP and is assisting in the design of the program for fans.

Focus areas for S&L • Rethinking Strategy • Techno-economic analysis • Process for setting and modifying S&L • Monitoring and Evaluation • Outreach
Rethinking Strategy • Focusing only on important appliances: Lighting, Fans, Refrigerators, TVs, ACs contribute about 80% of residential consumption • Is there a need for stars? How about grade 1 and grade 2 as in China or energy star as in US?
Techno-economic analysis • Techno-economic analysis of different energy efficiency options for an appliances is required before deciding the standards. • It may not be as comprehensive as other countries do owing to lack of data and human resources but it should cover important points
Process of Setting and Modifying S&L • Documentation of the process of setting standards and its publication • Same for the process of tightening standards • Increase in accountability
Monitoring & Evaluation • Random testing, Challenge testing should be carried out more regularly • A transparent, web-based system for tracking of testing • Evaluation should be more rigorous than the current deemed savings approach. • Evaluation of awareness program required
Outreach • Manufacturer • Intermediate players • Retailers and others • Customers
