Message Introduction Winners of the State Energy Conservation Awards 2008 State Level Energy Conservation Monitoring Committee for Energy Conservation in Kerala

A.K. Balan
Minister for Electricity

Energy Conservation is the means for the survival of the human race in the 21st Century

Message from the Hon. Minister for Electricity

Along with the nation we, in Kerala celebrate the Energy Conservation day falling on December 14 of every year imbibing its true spirit.
With the lingering energy crisis Energy Efficiency is perhaps the quickest, cheapest, cleanest way to extend our worlds energy supplies. Energy Conserved is Energy Produced. We must, therefore, conserve our resources and make energy conservation a mission. Energy Conservation Act, 2001 which came into force in February 2002 provides the necessary legal framework for promoting energy conservation measures in the country. The Bureau of Energy Efficiency, which has become operational under the Energy Conservation Act, 2001 has prepared a detailed Action Plan for implementing projects and programmes on efficient use of energy and its conservation. Bureau develops or helps technical bodies like Energy Management Centre to develop and implement demonstrative projects to present the case of Energy Efficiency. These demonstrative projects will create the necessary awareness as well as help the technocrats to identify the possible barriers to the projects thus ensuring the credibility and easy replication of energy efficiency projects and schemes.

Energy Management Centre is the only State Designated Agency which is fully devoted to the Improvement of Energy Efficiency in the State, promotion of energy conservation and encouraging development of technology related to energy through research and training, demonstration programmes and awareness creation. The State depends on the nature for generating as much as 1883.6 MW of power which comes from the hydel power stations. This dependence on nature and ever growing demand for energy from the domestic and commercial sector leading to higher peak loads requires impetus on energy efficiency and conservation for energy security of the State. The Energy Conservation would holistically find solutions to the various reasons of wastage of energy. The creation of awareness is adopted as a continuous activity at the same time the industries are helped in finding the latest technological solutions. Kerala has initiated activities to tackle the economic barriers with a State Energy Conservation Fund. The Energy Conservation Building Code will ensure that the architectural design changes be made to ensure maximum utilization of natural light and climate. One of the key necessities in the wake of our higher domestic consumption is the creation of public awareness regarding energy conservation and make optimum use of the available resources. EMC through its various outreach programmes like Energy Clinic, SAVE ( through one of the leading dailies), several other innovative programmes like ventriloquism, magic show, etc.. has ensured that the public awareness is one of their key priorities. The scheme of Kerala Energy Conservation Award has also been started to encourage energy conservation in various sectors. As part of that, the Kerala Government has instituted the State Energy Conservation Awards for the best performer in the thirteen categories. The country being the fourth largest emitter of carbon dioxide and energy generation being the largest emitter, it is a global sustainable need to ensure that every means of energy conservation is adopted and thus ensure equitable distribution of energy in a sustainable way. I wholeheartedly congratulate the winners of this years Energy Conservation Awards and Commendations for their commitment towards efficient use of natural resources.

INTRODUCTION
With a GDP growth of 9.2 % in 2006-07 and a sustained 8.5 %, even after the world over economic slowdown, energy assumes greater importance for our country. With coal and oil expected to contribute a large part of the energy consumption, India faces formidable challenge in meeting its energy needs in a sustainable manner.
The need and necessity for energy security and the higher energy intensity and pressure on environment has led us to think and act in a faster pace towards the direction of energy efficiency and cleaner fuels. The country is the fourth largest emitter of Green House Gasses in the world with CO2 contributing to 65% share of it; and the total emission by the energy sector is about 61% of the total green house gas emission in the country. The country which is closely tied to its natural resource base, climate change puts further stress on various sectors in addition to the existing pressure of high population, urban sprawl, and economic development. With the aim to institutionalize energy efficiency services, enabling delivery mechanisms in the country and providing leadership to energy efficiency in all sectors of the country the Energy Conservation Act, 2001(EC Act) and subsequently the Bureau of Energy Efficiency was formed.

kerala state energy conservation awards 2008

Kerala is one among the first few states in the country to have a well developed Designated Agency to enforce the Act in the state level. The creation of an exclusive organisation to undertake energy management activities in the state in 1996, before the promulgation of EC Act 2001, has resulted in developing certain unique programs targeting the different categories of energy users Energy Clinic for women, Energy Club for students, Energy Conservation Cells in Industries, etc. The EC Act and the Bureau and hence the Energy Management Centre has various action areas like Industry Programme for Energy Conservation; Demand Side Management; Standards & Labelling; Energy Efficiency in Buildings and Establishment; Energy Conservation Building Code; Professional Certification and Accreditation; Manuals and Codes; Energy Efficiency Policy Research Programme; Energy Efficiency and Conservation in School Education; Delivery Mechanisms for Energy Efficiency services. Several programmes are envisaged and worked on like the Energy Circles and Energy policy in all public sector industries and energy efficiency programmes for Municipalities, transportation sector, electrical distribution, students / academic and applied R&D projects etc. The State is in the formative stages of a Kerala State Energy Conservation Fund for facilitating the Energy Efficiency projects. The compliance study of the Energy Conservation Building Codes are being planned in the state to ensure that the building and commercial sector will be energy efficient from the design or perhaps in the initial construction stage. Twenty Two Government Buildings are undergoing Investment Grade Energy Audit to evaluate the potential of energy efficiency measures in these buildings and implement the same. Of all the issues of energy security the energy conservation has received more importance primarily due to the environmental impact. With a huge coastal lines and a fragile environment Kerala like the rest of the world has to gear up to this challenge of Global Warming. Taking into consideration these factors, this year the Kerala State Energy Conservation Award has included six special categories, in addition to the existing seven categories. State Level Monitoring committee has decided to award the Best Certified Energy Manager and Certified Energy Auditor in the State to felicitate their activities. The State having highest consumption in domestic sector justify to award three categories having greatest impact in this sector, viz., Best Energy Clinic Women Volunteer; Best Energy Conservation Club and Best Suggestion from Individual on Energy Conservation. The transportation sector contributes heavily to pollution and they consume a huge amount of our petroleum products, in fact the major share of petroleum consumption in the country. This year the Committee decided to award the most energy efficient fleet owner. The list of categories and awards given below
