Prayas’ work on Energy Efficiency and Focus Areas for S&L program

This presentation discusses Prayas' recent work on energy efficiency, including the Super Efficient Equipment Program (SEEP), the growing ownership of appliances in India, and the urgent need to improve efficiency. It also highlights the status of SEEP and provides focus areas for the standards and labeling program.

  1. 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

  2. Recent Prayas Work in Energy Efficiency: Super Efficient Equipment Program (SEEP)

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

  8. Related Prayas Papers • Strategic Actions for Rapid Implementation of Energy Efficiency, June 2011 • Potential Savings from Selected Super-Efficient Electric Appliances in India, June 2011 • Using National Energy Efficiency Programs with Upstream Incentives to Accelerate Market Transformation for Super-Efficient Appliances in India, June 2011 • Development of Super Efficient Equipment Program for Fans, July 2012 Available at www.prayaspune.org/peg/publications.

  9. Focus areas for S&L • Rethinking Strategy • Techno-economic analysis • Process for setting and modifying S&L • Monitoring and Evaluation • Outreach

  10. 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?

  11. 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

  12. 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

  13. 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

  14. Outreach • Manufacturer • Intermediate players • Retailers and others • Customers
