Executive Summary The South-South Knowledge Exchange (SSKE) Program in Energy Efficiency (EE) is designed as a collaborative platform to provide opportunities to South Asia Region (SAR) countries for knowledge exchange and learning in order to enhance their capacity to deliver energy efficiency (EE) and Demand Side Management (DSM) programs in their respective countries. The program aims to enhance greater connectivity between the community of the World Bank Group (WBG)’s energy efficiency practitioners and country stakeholders from across the SAR countries with the key players in Korea’s energy efficiency industry and community, led by the Korea Energy Agency (KEA) and in India, led by Energy Efficiency Services Limited (EESL) and the Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE). The overall emphasis of the knowledge exchange is on financing, implementation and delivery of energy efficiency. The project is funded by the Korea-World Bank Partnership Facility (KWPF). The project has so far facilitated two types of such exchanges and trainings – - The first was a week-long training in Korea in February 2018 organized by KEA with a group of EE practitioners

from SAR countries and World Bank (WB) energy specialists. - The second exchange was a week-long training held in New Delhi, India in June 2018 again with a group of EE

practitioners from SAR, and from Middle East and North Africa (MENA) and Africa regions, along with a group of Korean EE experts led by KEA, and Indian experts led by EESL, BEE and other entities.

This report focuses on the second exchange program which took place in New Delhi during 11th to 15th June 2018 - its objectives, detailed discussions, outcomes and learnings from key EE practitioners from India, South Korea and World Bank as well as the SAR, MNA and Africa country participants. Forty energy efficiency practitioners came from Bangladesh, Bhutan, Cote d’Ivoire, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Maldives, Morocco, Kenya, Mauritius, Korea and India. The program was organized by the World Bank and EESL, India in collaboration with KEA and the BEE, India, and with support from the Korea-World Bank Partnership Facility (KWPF). The African Development Bank sponsored five participants. The International Institute for Energy Conservation (IIEC) implemented the 5-day


6

program in India, as a technical consultant to the World Bank. The exchange program consisted of three days of classroom training and two days of site visits. Day 1 opened with thought leaders from India from both EESL and BEE who set the context for the week along with sharing an overview of the EE scenario in India. Mr. S.P. Garnaik, Chief General Manager, EESL, inaugurated the event by welcoming the participants. The participants were introduced to the EESL activities and the national level programs on energy efficiency. Highlighting the challenges, he emphasized on bringing transformation in the domains of technology, finance, regulatory and institutional. Mr. Arijit Sengupta, Director, BEE, addressed the role of BEE elaborating on the energy transition that is occurring globally. He referred to the Indian efforts and the establishment of BEE for the same purpose. He elaborated on the importance of EE over RE and its role in the GDP of the country. This was followed by a session on overview of EE policies and experience shared by the SAR country representatives. The day ended with a session on energy conservation programs and incentive mechanisms in Korea's industrial sector. Day 2 focused on innovative EE financial models and ESCO market development as well as New Age Smart Grid Solutions and Utility Based DSM Programs presented by both Indian and Korean experts. Day 3 opened with theme talks delivered by Dr. Ajay Mathur, Director General, The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI), Mr. Saurabh Kumar, Managing Director, EESL and Dr. Ashok Sarkar, Senior Energy Specialist, World Bank. The theme talks were followed by focused sessions on national level energy efficiency programs in building, home appliances and industrial sectors. The BEE implemented National Program for Certification of EE Professionals and the support to State Designated Agencies (SDAs) were also presented to the participants. Day 4 was dedicated to the valedictory session in the morning where participant feedback was shared along with the parting speeches from BEE, EESL, KEA, World Bank and IIEC and the distribution of program completion certificates. A field visit to EESL’s street lighting program site was organized in the afternoon. Day 5 was dedicated to the visits to EESL’s building EE program implementation site at NITI Aayog, which is considered to be a successful Public Building EE project. An introductory presentation was made by NITI Aayog and the EESL team at the project site to explain the program to the participants. The day commenced with a visit to the Intertek Lab – an Energy Efficiency Standards and Labeling Testing facility in New Delhi. The Intertek team led the participants to observe the lighting intensity testing, thermal testing, air conditioner and other appliances testing at the lab. The program not only provided the opportunity to the participants to learn from the information shared by the key speakers but also to network with each other, exchange knowledge, enable technology transfer and build partnerships for design and implementation of innovative EE programs in their respective countries. IIEC also undertook a short feedback survey from the participants at the end of the week-long program. The participants shared constructive feedback on the training and content of the sessions, in addition to suggestions on how to improve such knowledge exchange programs in the future. The recommendations also include some observations which can be used to develop partnerships and programs.

Overview of the South-South Knowledge Exchange Program in EE The governments in South Asian countries are looking at energy efficiency as the “first fuel” for economic development – in which they can invest ahead of other energy sources and as one of the most viable options for mitigation of climate change. The regional importance of South Asian countries cannot be ignored. Increasing urbanization, economic growth and expanding middle class is contributing to a growing energy demand. The countries in South Asia region have already started taking steps and making efforts to scale up energy efficiency as part of meeting their national goals through their low-carbon roadmaps and to help achieve their global commitments through the Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC) targets. To further support the effective design and implementation of energy efficiency programs in South Asian countries, the South-South Knowledge Exchange (SSKE) Program in Energy Efficiency was organized in New Delhi, India from June 11 to 15, 2018. Forty energy efficiency practitioners from Bangladesh, Bhutan, Cote d’Ivoire, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Maldives, Morocco, Kenya, Mauritius, Korea and India participated in the South-South Knowledge Exchange Program in Energy Efficiency. The program was organized by the World Bank and Energy Efficiency Services Limited (EESL), India in collaboration with Korea Energy Agency (KEA) and the Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE), India with support from the Korea-World Bank Partnership Facility (KWPF). The African Development Bank sponsored five participants from the Middle East and Africa. The International Institute for Energy Conservation (IIEC) implemented the 5-day program in India, as a technical consultant to the World Bank. The exchange program consisted of three days of classroom training and two days of site visits. Among the participants and speakers were representatives from: Agence Marocaine de L’efficacité Energétique (AMEE), Morocco Ajou University, South Korea Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE), India Department of Electricity Development, Nepal, Energy Efficiency Service Limited (EESL), India International Institute for Energy Conservation, India Korea Energy Agency, South Korea Korea Research Institute on Climate Change, South Korea Ministry of Energy and Petroleum, Kenya Ministry of Energy and Public Utilities, Mauritius Ministry of Environment and Energy, Maldives Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, South Korea Ministry of Renewable Energy, Bhutan Sustainable Energy Authority (SEA), Sri Lanka Sustainable Renewable Energy Development Authority (SREDA), Bangladesh The World Bank In addition, speakers and participants also included experts from the African Development Bank, International Finance Corporation (IFC), Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ), The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI), Confederation of Indian Industry (CII), Development Environergy Services Limited, Tata Power Delhi Distribution Limited, Intertek Lab, etc. The SSKE program provided a great opportunity to enable participants to share and learn about EE policies across the regions, business models and financing mechanisms to promote demand-side EE improvements across different sectors. The programs also provided a great cross-learning opportunity on topics such as addressing barriers in transforming EE markets on scale, becoming more efficient, adapt and apply the implementation models that worked successfully in developed countries. The exchange program was also a platform for dissemination, sharing and exchange of knowledge, primarily drawing upon Korea’s extensive leadership in the area of EE and demand-side

Description of Knowledge Exchange Program

Sessions on Day – 1

Session 1 Overview of Energy Efficiency Policy and Experience Sharing from Various Countries Overview of EE Policies in Korea- Mr. Kyung-soon, Park, Director of International Cooperation Team of Global Project Division, KEA

The Korean War of the 1950s destroyed almost all the infrastructure of South Korea. Thus, the country had to start building everything from scratch. Being weak on the natural energy supply side, the country is heavily dependent on imports. Korea has low potential of energy saving due to energy-intensive industrial structure. The Second Energy Master Plan, 2014 shifts focus from supply management to demand management and has a sectoral approach. It aims to improve the energy intensity to 30% of 2011 level through the plan by 2035. Korea Energy Agency, (a governmental agency that carries out national energy policies for energy efficiency improvement, new and renewable energy

dissemination and climate change mitigation for smart and efficient demand side management), in 2016 had a total budget of 1,167 million USD. Of this, the EE budget was greater than renewable energy budget, that is, 21.3% more in total Government trusted fund of 1107 million INR. Industrial EE measures include Emission Trading Scheme (2015), GHG-Energy Target Management Scheme (2012), Energy Audits, soft loans and tax incentives and promoting ESCO activities. KEA’s soft loans to ESCOs have been instrumental in increasing numbers of ESCOs from 4 in 1993 to 324 in 2015, a significant increase in over 20 years. A total of 2.27 billion USD had been spent during this period. In the Appliance initiatives, the focus has been on creating information to the consumer’s choice; provide financial support to the consumer for installing EE appliances; setting up a public organization for implementation of the same. Key initiatives in this case have been EE labeling with mandatory 5 grade labels (covering 27 appliances), Efficient Appliance Certification providing certificates and rebates on EE products (covering 47 appliances) and e-standby program for automatic shift to low standby power mode (covering 21 items). In case of the buildings sector, Building Energy Efficiency Certification and Building Energy Code are the two key initiatives. To achieve transport energy efficiency, car producers and importers were or are required to meet the average fuel economy standard. This is applicable to passenger/light duty cars/light trucks (below 3.5 tons). Additionally, fuel efficiency label is required to be attached to the vehicle windows to create awareness. Awareness building was determined to be a key factor and thus for more public awareness, campaigns, training and education is conducted country wide, starting from schools. Bangladesh Energy Efficiency Sector- Mr. Rezaul Hoq, Director Energy Efficiency Sustainable Renewable Energy Development Authority Bangladesh is mostly dependent on gas to meet its power generation demands, meeting 70% through indigenous production. There is a big issue of power loss, thus generation is highly inefficient. Industrial sector is the biggest consumer of power. With changing times, while the demand is increasing, production is decreasing. The government has revised the target of achieving 15% from 2020 to 20% by 2030 under the 7th National Five-Year Plan. The Energy Efficiency Master Plan under this five-year plan it has five parts. The targets are set to ensure, both Public and Private sector investment to get involved in energy efficiency and conservation promotion. For initiating energy efficiency measures, industrial sector is the first priority, followed by the residential sector. Energy efficiency measure potential is estimated to be about 31%. The government is also working on developing transport Master Plan. To meet its target the government is acting upon three domains – 1)


10

developing a regulatory framework, 2) creating checks and review methods ready through market research and 3) working on capacity development and public awareness. It was discussed that through appropriate measures in this direction, Bangladesh can achieve a decrease in the daily load by 25% by 2030. Bhutan Energy Efficiency Sector- Mr. Ugyen, Executive Engineer, Ministry of Renewable Energy

Bhutan is 99% indigenous hydro electricity generated and lit. Even though biomass dominates the primary energy source domestically, there is still is huge chunk of biomass that is not utilized. Coal is mostly used for industrial purposes and not for power generation. Consumption of biomass has decreased over time due to increasing rural electrification. While initiatives for EE have already been there for some time now, an EE and conservation policy is under discussion in the cabinet. As of now energy auditing has been done for 40 industries through funding support of UNDP in 2012. Additionally, the country also undertook an EE study in the Building Sector

and conducted the Building Energy Efficiency Code drafted under the UNDP funding in 2013. With regards to LED, about 30,000 LED lamps have been distributed in the country, mostly in the Thimphu region, with phasing out of incandescent bulbs. Challenges that need to be addressed still remain, such as -– lack of awareness, building in-house capability, developing legal and regulatory framework, market creation and lack of fiscal incentives for promoting EE. However, steps are being taken and there are initiatives planned for increasing EE measures which include - development of energy efficient building codes and standards, developing of standards and labeling program (MEPS), creating public awareness to bring behavioral changes, promoting solar water heating, improved cooking and heating stoves and promoting solar and electric vehicles. The country’s Department of Renewable Energy, responsible for energy enhancing energy security, is committed to making the country carbon neutral for all time to come. India Energy Efficiency Sector- Mr. Arijit Sengupta, Director, BEE India has a total generation of 343 GW of which nearly 40% is consumed by the industrial sector followed by the residential sector. The Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE), created in 2001, as mandated under Energy Act, 2000 is responsible for providing regulatory support and environment for the uptake of energy efficiency measures. India also has a National Mission on enhanced Energy Efficiency, launched in 2008. To promote EE, several initiatives have been taken at central level. Flagship initiatives include Standards and Labeling for appliances & equipment, Energy Consumption norms for energy intensive industries (PAT), DSM program, Energy Conservation Building Code (ECBC) for commercial buildings, Certification of Energy Auditors and Managers. ECBC, which especially started as voluntary program has now been converted into mandatory regime. Though adopted from various existing programs, the Indian ECBC has been further developed as per the Indian climatic conditions. As of now, 12 states have already included it as bylaws. To promote the outreach, the government is extensively working on improving financing options, covering small and medium enterprises, conduct school level painting competitions and conducts seminars, workshops and capacity building programs. All these initiates are towards the Governments’ commitments to meet Nationally Determined Targets (NDC) as committed by the Indian government during COP 21. The Standards & Labeling Program, which has been hugely successful in India, now covers 21 equipment’s, with 10 made mandatory and the standards over time have been made more stringent. Another key program, launched by the Government is the Unnat Jyoti by Affordable LEDs for all (UJALA), which targeted replacement of 770 million bulbs to be replaced by LED Bulbs, has already witnessed replacement of over 300 million bulbs. The government estimates a potential market of EE worth 20 million USD, for which ESCOs have been empaneled to institutionalize energy efficiency services and promote energy efficiency delivery mechanisms. The government is constantly working on exploring more options for implementing EE. Some identified options are developing state energy efficiency index, electric mobility plan.

Maldives Energy Efficiency Sector- Mr. Ahmed Raoof Mohamed, Assistant Statistical Officer, Ministry of Environment and Energy

The republic of Maldives solely relies on fuel import to meet its energy demand, which is a serious concern and threat to the energy security of the country. They rely heavily on diesel which constitutes 77% of their total energy mix. It has an energy policy and strategy in place that aims to achieve– 1) Strengthening the institution and regulatory framework of the energy sector and 2) Promoting energy conservation and energy efficiency. For energy conservation and EE, they are working on both supply and the demand side. The country has a big LED lighting plan and they have distributed 5 lights to each household in the country. On energy analysis, it is seen that AC load in the highest and consumes 60% share of electricity consumption. Poorly insulated buildings further

add to the electricity consumption. While supply side works on improving distribution networks and generating sets, demand side is aims to introduce more energy efficient products as well policy level initiatives. These include EE Standards and Labelling, energy efficiency and energy conservation awareness campaigns, distribution of LED lights and development of Energy and Water Saving Guidelines. Energy Efficiency Services Limited (EESL), a Government of India Company is supporting them to meet their targets on the plan. Nepal Energy Efficiency Sector- Ms. Mon Devi Shrestha, Superintending Engineer, Department of Electricity Development Work on EE in Nepal started after the establishment of Alternate Energy Promotion Centre (APEC) which is the nodal agency for renewable energy and energy efficiency in the country. While huge hydro power exists, generation is still not to its full capacity. The country still struggles with concerns of electrification, where only 75% households are electrified. Traditional source of biomass is the most consumed source. Residential sector remains the highest energy consumer in the country (at 81%). Formal initiation of measures on EE started in 1980s with industries. Time during 1990s was mostly used for understanding and management of load demand energy conservation measures were introduced during that time in hotels and industries. The National Energy Efficiency Program was launched in 2009, in partnership with Federal Government of Germany, is an integrated energy sector roadmap. Its area of intervention includes - policy framework (EE Strategy, Biomass Energy Strategy, EE Institutionalization, Nepal Energy Information System), EE market development (Industries, Public and Commercial Sector; Involvement of commercial banks in designing financial product for EE) and vocational training and education. However, Nepal still faces inter-related challenges in the energy sector especially in promoting energy efficiency such as inadequate financial incentives, lack of awareness, lack of mature EE industry or policy instruments.

Sri Lanka Energy Efficiency Sector- Mr. Prasanna Maldeniya, Director Eco Systems, Sustainable Energy Authority

The cabinet formulated the National Energy Policy in 2008 and is still operational. This policy, ahead of its time, focused-on energy for all by 2020. EE and conservation are an integral part of this policy. Key initiatives taken in this direction include energy labelling for 8 appliances, energy manager scheme with nearly 200 energy managers actively working and energy auditor scheme having accredited 20 energy auditors. Energy related standards of ISO 50001 have also been introduced in 30 companies. The government also conducts various awareness programs. Building codes exist in the country and the government is constantly promoting it. Under DSM program there exists

financing schemes to promote EE technologies. Despite these efforts there still exist challenges in the country to meet its target. High investments with a non-attractive rate of return, lack of awareness, fast technological progress making standards obsolete are some of the key concerns of the sector in Sri Lanka. Morocco Energy Efficiency Sector- Mr. Mustapha Enzili, Principal Chief Engineer, AMEE Morocco imports nearly 93% of energy and has witnessed an increase in energy consumption over the last 10 years. The country has set the target to meet its energy needs of about 52% by 2030. It has a target to improve EE by 5% by 2020 and 20 % by 2030. Share of transport in energy consumption is expected to increase tremendously over the years to 51%. To achieve these objectives, measures have been established by different sector. Age limit of vehicles have been mandated post which they have to be taken-off the roads. In buildings, general regulation on construction has been operationalized. There is also an obligation to install solar water heaters for new construction and support the acquisition of solar water heaters. In case of industries, disclosing of annual information has been obligated on installed power and energy as well as consumption for companies above a limit of consumption per sector. Audits have been made necessary for industrials above a consumption of 500 toe per year. Solar pumps are also being encouraged by the government. Morocco Energy Efficiency Sector Investments – Mr. Ahmed Bouzid

Morocco State Investment Company has been constantly working on creating an investment friendly environment in the country. There exist dedicated EE ESCOs. As a result of constant efforts, 15000 mosques directly managed by the Ministry of Habous and Islamic Affairs have been made efficient through LED lighting, solar water heaters, auto production and solar cooling. A total energy savings of 60% equivalent to 45 million dirhams economy have been reported with this measure, leading to a reduction of CO2 emissions by 20,700 tCO2. The company takes loans from multilateral banks that are used for developing energy performance contracts, tenders and providing payments. The classic example of this case has been of the public lighting, involving

municipalities. The company also has an EE project with a giant steel producer, which is in its initial stages. A call of interest has been rolled out to invite ESCOs. 11 hotels have also been taken under the EE umbrella where the companies would financially support energy audits. Despite the success, some barriers have been identified such as lack of regulatory framework for signing long term lease which lead to delays and wider outreach of similar projects.

Kenya Energy Efficiency Sector- Mr. David Mutisya, Head, Energy Efficiency and Conservation Division, Ministry of Energy and Petroleum Kenya is starting in the field of EE under the Directorate of Renewable Energy. The first task is of strengthening the capacity of Ministry itself. Kenya is naturally rich in RE, of which it is mostly relying on hydro power but now it is gradually switching to solar and wind as well. Several collaborations have been done by the government for enhancing the capacity such as with Kenya Association of Manufacturers. More than 850 energy audits have been conducted recently and a, total of around 1300 in the country. There also exists Association of Energy Professionals of East Africa. Exchange visits are organized for engineers and energy managers. The government is working on several initiatives to build their capacity on this front such as - promoting energy efficiency and conservation in public buildings, partnerships with KEBs and ERC on standards, exploring new partnerships such as one with Copenhagen Centre for Energy Efficiency and promotion of uptake of improved institutional stoves and biogas digesters. Key challenges in the country include high technology cost, lack of awareness, lack of standards and codes of practice and inadequate fiscal incentives. Mauritius Energy Efficiency Sector- Mr. Radhamohun Mungur, Director, Energy Efficiency Management Office, Ministry of Energy and Public Utilities The primary energy requirement of the country is diverse with maximum dependence on coal. Transport sector

consumes over 53% of the total energy. The Energy Efficient Management Office, EEMO set up under the Energy Efficiency Act 2011 is administered by an Energy Efficiency Committee (Board of EEMO). Developed as a key body, it looks after developing strategies, data collection and compilation and developing standards. It is actively working on the sensitization and awareness of the public through websites, annual competitions, advertisements and radio shows. Mauritius has an EE, DSM Master Plan and Action Plan launched in 2016 leading to 2030, having 31 measures including establishment of an Energy Efficiency Information Centre for companies, introduction of

performance contracting, development of skills of installers, development of Minimum Energy Performance Standards, and appointment of Energy Managers. It has also set a target of meeting 10% reduction in energy consumption by 2025 from 2008 base level. As of now the country has 48 certified energy auditors. There is also mandatory labelling of appliances including refrigerators, electric ovens, and dishwashers. Under the Energy Efficiency Act, Energy Audits have been made mandatory since February 2017. For now, it is mandated for public buildings with a threshold of 15ToE. Enforcement on private industries will be done in 2021 with a cap of 100 toe. In case of private sectors, voluntary audits have been there since 2014 under National Energy Efficiency Program. AFD has also given a credit line for the implementation of the suggestions for energy audits and so far, 88 audits have been completed. Key Takeaways Each of the participating countries have different course of energy sector development in their countries. However, lack of awareness and limited in-house capacities tend to hold back the growth of the sector. Strengthening institutional framework can help in faster adoption and better structuring of EE activities at country level.

Session 2 Industrial Energy Efficiency and Incentive Mechanisms Theme Talk – Industrial Efficiency in India – Mr. Girish Sethi, Senior Director, TERI The following session provided an overview of the importance of the growing Medium, Small and Micro Enterprises (MSME) sector in India as well as the potential it holds to become energy efficient. The country has a diversified Medium, Small and Micro Enterprises (MSME) sector. While large industries, such as cement, iron & steel, fertilizer, petrochemical, textile, pulp & paper, chlor-alkali, automobile have taken efforts to improve their EE, the MSME sector still remains energy inefficient. The MSME sector has a huge potential of EE. There is rising investment in physical infrastructure that leads to increased economic activity in the manufacturing sector. Industry will continue to remain a major energy consumer in the coming times offering a significant potential. MSME sector, usually a family business case in India, has an important socio-economic perspective. There exist many energy intensive sub-sector clusters such as casting, forging, ceramics, food processing and glass. In addition to iron and steel sector, the largest energy consumer in India, MSME sectors offers a cumulatively significant EE and saving potential. Options of energy efficiency can be adopted with diverse approaches and different stages. Process specific technologies can be adopted in industries like cement, iron and steel and MSMEs. Cross-cutting options are also available such as motors, transformers, compressors, air conditioners. Fuel switching option can be explored using natural gas, biomass, refuse. Recycling and use of secondary material is one of the new options being taken up at several places. There is already a legal mandate in place for implementation of EE initiatives under the Energy Conservation (EC) Act, 2001 through the Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) and State Designated Agencies (SDAs). Other schemes for promoting EE include Perform, Achieve and Trade (PAT), a market-based mechanism introduced under National Mission on Enhanced Energy Efficiency (NMEEE) as part of the National Action Plan for Climate Change (NAPCC). MSMEs require handholding for adoption of EE technologies. This can be achieved through technology demonstration, capacity building and knowledge and making easy finance available. Korea Energy Policy Responding to Climate Change – Dr. Gi-jeung, Um, Director, International Cooperation Team, Global Project Division, Korea Research Institute on Climate Change The Korea Research Institute on Climate Change (KRICC) undertook a study for the City and Climate Change initiative (CCCI). The aim of this project was to evaluate the climate change response of local government and promotion of the countermeasures. The project was carried out by KRICC, which led the research on mitigation sector and Korea University, which led the research on adaptation sector. Both the organizations worked in close collaboration with local governments. The methodology for this research involved a literature survey and grouping followed by a selection of the CCCI Indicators. These indicators were then consulted and evaluated by experts and confirmed. Evaluation areas included climate change parameters (Temp., precipitation, Sea level rise, extreme events), impacts and vulnerability (ecosystems, water resources, food security, Human health, and settlement), socio-economic development (governance, literacy, health, population, technology, trade) and climate process drivers (concentration emissions). Common, exclusive and hindering factors influencing the outcome were also identified. The key stakeholders in implementation of the outcomes were identified. They were energy producers and distributors, consumers and other GHG emitters, planners. 10 indicators and indices were used for developing countermeasure index. Seven sectors were identified for mitigation – energy, industry, building, transport, agriculture, forest and waste. In addition to these, growth rate of these indicators was used to evaluate the effort of climate change response. Backup indicators were set aside for future use when statistical data are collected. For adaptation 3 key indicators were ecosystem (forestry, agriculture and fisheries), socio-economies and others. More than 5 indicators were selected and evaluated in terms of their validities. However, there were difficulties faced during development of the indicators such lack of basic data, various countermeasure policies already in local government and difficulty in connecting CCCI Indicator with counter measure efforts against climate change. To promote these CCCI targets have been set at provincial and city level and an action plan has been detailed of each step. As of now, 16 local governments were


15

responsive to 20 CCCI Indicators (10 mitigation and 10 adaptation). These indicators still need to be further developed by corrective work through more engagement. Industrial Energy Audit Policies and Programs in Korea – Mr. Kyoung-min, Kim, Deputy Director, Global Strategy Division, KEA This session gave an overview of the industrial energy audit policies in Korea and how it is being implemented. Article 32, Energy Use Rationalization Act, 2007 provides legal support to energy auditing in Korea. There is a standard set for energy audit - energy-intensive companies whose annual energy consumption is over 2,000 toe are mandated to conduct energy audits. Energy audits are mandatory for 5 years in case of industries consuming under 200,000 toe and for 3-5 years in case of industries consuming 200,000 toe. The audit cost is determined according to the number of days and the composition of professionals required for conducing audits. The cost usually ranges from 10,000 ~ 150,000 USD, depending on the contract. Subsidies are provided to SMEs which have an energy consumption less than 10,000toe, helping them covering up to 70% of the audit costs. As per the investments done in conducting energy audits Korea Energy Agency, KEA, has seen a payback of 2 years for conducting over 5700 energy audits with potential energy savings of 5,111,7775toe. There are two types of energy audit agencies based on audit scope. So far, 83 registered agencies exist as of June 2017 consisting of two categories. Category 1 includes 36 agencies covers whole business sites including buildings, food, textile, wood, and chemical, ceramic, metal. Category 2 consisting of 47 agencies covers audit sites consuming under 10,000 toe. It is mandatory for the energy agency to have instruments as per the government guidelines – calibrated according to the operational manual per year. Audits in industries include power, heat part and the output. Audits have also been converted implementation through installation of efficient technologies such as heat recovery boiler, steam supply line, exhaust gas control and exhaust gas pipe-line. National Energy Conservation Awards Scheme of India – Mr. A. K. Asthana, Senior Advisor, GIZ The National Energy Conservation award scheme implemented by BEE is a voluntary activity on behalf of ministry of Power, Government of India. Due to its gradual but constant popularity, the nominations have increased from 123 in 1999 to 921 nominations in 2016. Various industrial sectors such as aluminium, auto mobile, tea municipality, railways, to mention a few, are covered under this. Office buildings, cement industry, railway stations, fertilizers, appliances equipment are some of the regular nominations year after year. The cumulative annual savings of these industries have increased form INR 2 billion in 1999 to INR 48 billion in 2016. A total of 7378 million kWh was reposted as energy saving equivalent to 1352 MW capacity of power generation. The award system is based on a tiered model. The first prize is awarded to industry securing over 65% of the evaluation criteria, and the 2nd to ones securing between 64.9% - 60%. A certificate of merit is awarded to industries securing between 59.9 % - 55%. There was also a discussion on awareness as a key factor to bringing about any kind of behavioral change. A painting competition as a national level activity supported by GIZ is conducted in schools across the country. This is conducted at both state level and federal level. There is wide campaigning of this competition through newspapers, radios, and flyers distributed along with electricity bill. The participation for the competition has seen tremendous increase from 343,000 students participating 2005 to 113, 94,000 students in 2016 (4th to 9th standard). The per head expenditure for this activity is only 6 cents per head. This cost includes about everything from advertisement, mementoes, certificates, prize money, travelling, boarding & lodging, event organization etc. Given the financial viability of this activity, it is considered to be a good investment and can be easily replicated in other South Asian countries for bringing about behavioral change to get the young people start talking and thinking about energy efficiency.

DSM Interventions through Deployment of Energy Efficient Appliances in India – Mr. Sameer Pandita, Director, BEE The share of domestic sector consumption has increased from 21% in 2007 to 24% in 2016. In 2022, the residential demand is expected to increase up to 30% compared to 2016 figures. DSM through energy efficient electrical household is not very expensive and is an efficient way of conserving our environment. Energy standards and labels, launched in 2006, under Section 14, Energy Conservation Act, 2001, are being used as one of the policy measure to pave the way to meet the rise in energy demand and reduce emissions. The standard labeling program first targeted refrigerators and then air conditioners came into picture. The government wants to provide quantity and quality power to the customer for which this program has been a success. As of date, 21 appliances have been covered, of which 10 are mandatory and 11 are voluntary. From 2018 onwards, other appliances that will be included are chillers, washing machines, microwaves, set top boxes. There is a detailed procedure that an appliance undergoes before setting of standards for an appliance. Labels are fixed on the appliances for the consumer to know about the energy efficiency of the technology that they are purchasing. These are of two types – 1) comparative labels for consumers to compare the energy consumption of similar products and factor lifetime running cost into their purchasing decision; and 2) endorsement labels to provide a ‘certification’ to inform prospective purchasers that the product is highly energy efficient for its category. To have a star label mandated on an appliance from being just voluntary, BEE sends out a draft proposal to the MoP. It goes through a rigorous review to be approved and then published in its official gazette. The products undergo check testing as well challenge testing. Former is conducted by third party NABL accredited laboratories. Failures invite financial penalties, as well as “naming and shaming” of the failed product published in print media/newspapers. The latter is carried out randomly or when a written complaint is reported regarding the compliance of the star label against specifications given in the respective product notification/schedule of the Bureau. Again, awareness building is an important component of this entire program and consumers are made aware of it through social media, flyers and other channels. BEE has also carried out National & Regional level training programs for retailers on awareness of the Standard & Appliances scheme. With this program, minimum energy performance standards of various appliances have seen drastic improvement over the years. There still exist challenges that hinder full-scale implementation of this project. This includes check-test failing of various famous brands and higher cost of more efficient technologies. Standard labelling may be expensive for smaller countries because everything is imported. However, in such cases endorsement labels can be promoted. Key Takeaways Incentives are one of the best ways to encourage the adoption of energy efficiency measures. Schemes like PAT and national awards inspire the industry to get a green branding and expand their market. Also, it is important that audits are converted to implementation. The standards and labeling of home appliances is the key to ensure effective energy savings in domestic sector.

Session 3 Innovative Energy Efficiency Financing Models and ESCO Market Development Theme Talk on Innovative EE financing – Dr. G. C. Datta Roy, Advisor, Development Environergy Services Limited (DESL) Innovative financing can be brought into picture through 3 routes – 1) through sourcing such as innovative way of source funds such as partial guarantee fund; 2) making products out of the funds provided and, 3) innovative delivery mechanisms or business models. Innovation in any of these can be classified under innovative financing mechanisms. Challenges that are usually faced by the stakeholders or ESCOs can occur through any of the routes – availability of funds like stand-alone funds, lack of projects; access to finance; cost of project – could be both or either of hard or soft part of the total cost; and knowledge asymmetry. Introduction of Cess is one of the innovative financing mechanisms. Practiced in South Korea Brazil, India and many other countries, India pools this Cess in a National Clean Energy Fund. However, this money has not been defined for EE practices. There are other utility programs such as DSM, EESL, UJALA schemes. These address the concerns of access to finance and having innovative projects. Credit Guarantee Fund Trust for Micro and Small Enterprises (CGTMSE), has established itself as an important institution in facilitating flow of collateral free credit to SMEs since its 17 years of existence. CGTMSE has leveraged technology to achieve this scale and the entire operations is carried out online. Rebooting CGTMSE” organized by Ministry of MSME and CGTMSE on February 2018 bringing changes in terms and condition and making it more accessible to SME market. It included improving IT infrastructure for better operations and reduce turnaround time for claim settlement. Concept of super ESCO, established by the government makes the system smoother. This is because it has enough money to undertake public sector energy efficiency projects and to leverage commercial financing. It works with banks to unlock project financing. Green Financing Platform has also been set up, as an online platform for improving access to finance and enhance partnerships. It brings together super ESCOs with start-ups and other agencies involved in clean technology space. ESCO Financing Policy and Case Study (LED Finance Model and Its Implementations) – Dr. Gi-jeung, Um, Director, International Cooperation Team, Global Project Division, Korea Research Institute on Climate Change LED finance ESCO mode is a pilot case designed by KEA. This was developed because of the high threshold of financing institutes and lack of ESCO finance and surveillance management. The program featured stable surveillance management system and guarantee program. It is free from bankruptcy of LED manufacturing company and its responsibility and gives credibility of customer/manager with stable LED substitution. It offers budget and debt free optimal financial conditions and is most importantly customer centric. The system features LED Discount Program (LED Finance Patent Registration). LED Finance system integrator provides vendor selection / finance / insurance / contract etc. It notifies energy saving to the customer on the electricity bill and gives points by using the Incorporates’ Electricity Saving Card. The key challenges faced in this project include debt, price, defining surveillance responsibilities, and vendor selection which have been addressed one by one. For public building, KEA provides low interest finance product through A/S Insurance, Competent Company according to local governmental situation etc. A similar ESCO project is also being conducted under the Korea-Sri Lankan partnership, where significant savings have been reported in a hospital in Sri Lanka, where this model was implemented. Framework of EE financing In India – Dr. Ashok Kumar, Director, BEE Under the National Mission on Enhanced Energy Efficiency (NMEEE), Partial Risk Guarantee Fund for Energy Efficiency (PRGFEE) was introduced to facilitate uptake of EE measure in the country. It is a risk sharing mechanism to provide financial institutions with partial coverage of risk involved in extending loans for EE projects. Around INR.312 crores have been set for PRGFEE so far. It guarantees maximum of 50% of the loan or INR 100 million crores,

whichever is less and is limited to government building, private buildings, SMEs, industries and municipalities. Four Financing Institutions are empaneled under this. The supervising committee is the BEE. Venture Capital Fund for Energy Efficiency (VCFEE) is another mechanism that provides equity capital with a cap of INR 20 million for a single project. It is estimated that 15% of the equity is approximately 4% of the total capital requirement for any EE project, which may be invested under VCFEE. There is need to involve more banks, to increase the reach of the efforts. ESCOs and the borrowers are also to be made aware of these schemes. LED Street Lighting Project in Indian Municipality – Mr. Venkatesh Dwivedi, Chief Operating Officer, EESL The focus of this session was on LED Street lighting program of EESL with various municipalities. EESL adopted the Pay as You Save (PAYS) model for street lighting, that is, repayments from energy and maintenance cost savings. One example of such a successful project was in partnership with South Delhi Municipal Corporation (SDMC) which the participants also got to visit and witness as part of the training. Under this model 60% of the cost was borne by EESL and 40% by SDMC. EESL has implemented street lighting projects across 12 states in India so far. Under the Street Lighting National Program 6.1 million street lights converted out of 14 Million streetlights in India. All street lights are targeted to be covered by March 2019. This ESCO model has also been replicated and adopted in the building and water pumping. Standardized commercial documentations are available publicly to enable scalability and replication of the program. EESL also conducting third party monitoring verification survey studies to validate the impact of these projects. To ensure the quality of the bulbs, confirmation or declaration via certificates and check lists is made via vendors. EESL also undertakes physical verification on the manufacturing sites. Social audits in every project is also conducted to assess its social impact. Successful EE Financing in India & PRSF scheme in India – Mr. Manoj Kumar, SIDBI Partial Risk Sharing Facility for Energy Efficiency (PRSF) project aims to increase demand for EE investments in MSME clusters and to build their capacity to access commercial finance. The project includes capacity building and awareness, increased investments and knowledge management. 10 MSME clusters have been targeted under this so far and 1000 energy audits and EE measures have been implemented in 600+ MSMEs. This has resulted in 10-25% energy cost savings verified through 3rd party monitoring and evaluation. This gave a return of INR 1.5 billion EE investment returning Rs.1.25 billion energy cost savings, 22, 5000 toe annual energy savings and 1.5 million tons of CO2 reduction. SIDBI is working on hand-holding clusters till realization of the project takes place. To provide end-to-end support, 220+ Paid Energy Audits and 1800+ EE measures have been identified. Several technical assistance activities have also been done such as development of operation manuals, various legal documents (MoU, MGA, etc.) and formats (ESPC, DPR, ICR, etc.), awareness workshops / trainings for ESCOs, bankers and ESCOs interactions. Perform, Achieve and Trade (PAT) Program in India – Mr. Milind Deore, Director, BEE PAT is a market based regulatory instrument to reduce specific energy consumption in industries and to enhance the cost effectiveness through tradable energy saving certificates. Launched in 2012, the program is currently in its third phase. The program provides unit specific targets based on their current efficiency; for example, inefficient plants will have a higher target vis-à-vis an energy efficient one. Performance achieved below targets are issued ESCerts (Energy Saving Certificates) which are tradable, whereas overshooting the target leads to a penalty of INR 1 million, in addition to INR 10,000 per day. In December 2017, participants had come on board for ESCerts trading, generating a daily business of INR 64 million. BEE is responsible for setting the targets and industries. 427 industries were verified for PAT 1. Criteria for identification of the sectors are detailed in Energy Conservation Act. PAT 1 cycle (2012-2015) has resulted in a saving of 5635 MW power and USD 5.8 billion. It has encouraged USD 3.8 billion worth of investments. Large part of savings came through thermal power plans followed by iron and steel. PAT III cycle is under evaluation and the targets for PAT IV cycle is being developed. The scheme has also accelerated technology adoption in cement, pulp and paper, iron and steel industry.

Key Takeaways Financing EE measures is important. While the countries may be taking efforts for adoption of clean energy, EE is often side-lined in the funding planning. There is a great opportunity here for innovative financing in which banks and FI’s have a major role to play in facilitating the adoption of EE measures.

Session 4 New Age Smart Solutions and Utility based DSM Programs Smart Meter Program in India – Mr. Ajay Kumar Sharma, Deputy General Manager (Technical), EESL The Smart Meter Program visions on-time and accurate billing for Distribution Companies (DISCOMs), increase in consumer satisfaction and sustainable revenues for (DISCOMs) through Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI). EESL led the smart meter project in UP and Haryana. The new AMI system consists of head end system and Mobile Device Management System that sends data through General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) This system is capable of pre-payment functionality. There is an on-going work to integrate it with online payment systems and digital wallets such as Paytm, Payzone, E-mitra so that consumers can re-charge through the internet using web portals or apps. In addition to on-time and accurate billing, it helps in reduced operational expenditure for DISCOMs, reducing AT&C losses and increasing operation efficiency. The consumer gets the benefit of improved safety, versatile payment options and visibility of energy consumption. Smart Grid Roadmap and Projects in Korea – Dr. Yonghun, Jung, Professor, Ajou University Smart Grid projects have received impetus form the Korea’s energy policy under the new government. Smart Grid is looked upon as addressing issues and integrating clean energy solutions. A demonstration project is set up in Jeju Island the main island of Jeju Province of South Korea. The overall strategy of the project is to leverage Korea’s strong competence in manufacturing, construction and IT. Korean industries on semi-conductors, petrochemicals, automobiles steel and ship building and ICT are identified to assist in the realization of this project and wide scale implementation in the country. The Korean Smart grid policy has received legal support as well. This has also been incorporated in country’s five years master plan in accordance with Article 5 of the Special Act on Establishment of Nationwide smart grids, which include investment, demonstration, and diffusion plan. The project has also planned pilot smart cities under this. It will also include EV charging infrastructure and AMI technology. Air Conditioner DSM Program in India – Ms. Shruti Mahajan, Assistant Manager, Tata Power Delhi Distribution Limited TATA Power Delhi Distribution Limited (TPDDL), a joint venture between Tata Power and the Government of NCT of Delhi, has been the frontrunner in implementing power distribution reforms in the capital city and is acknowledged for its consumer-friendly practices. TPDDL conducted a Delhi-wide survey to understand the energy consumption patterns during summers. It was realized that roughly 50% of the domestic load comes from the usage of Air Conditioners (AC) and 66% of their consumers own AC. A large chunk these ACs, are not rated under the BEE Standards and Labelling program or are greater than 3 years old proving to be energy inefficient. TPDDL launched an AC replacement program with 5-Star rated ACs, targeting a replacement of 20,000 ACs. Under this program, they offered upfront rebates in the range of INR 4800- INR 7400/- per air-conditioner. Participating companies included Hitachi, Voltas, and Godrej. Under this program, TPDDL replaced non-star 18,123 ACs amounting to annual deemed savings of 10.5 Mus, avoiding peak Power of 11.66 MW and annual CO2 reduction of - 3494 MT. All the old ACs collected under the scheme was disposed-off in an environment friendly manner. Similar to this program, they also launched the UJALA Yojana where TPDDL distributed. 9-watt LED bulbs at the rate of INR 70, and 20-watt LED T8 tube light for INR 220, and a BEE 5-Star ceiling fan for INR 1100. TPDDL has recently also launched a super-efficient fan program and anticipating savings of up to 63% by replacing 75W conventional fans.

Agriculture DSM – EE Pump Program in India – Mr. Rajneesh Rana, General Manager (Business Development & Contracts), EESL There are 20 million grid connected agri-pumps across India having total consumption of 187 billion KWh. The agriculture sector receives an annual subsidy of INR 65 billion. EESL launched the DSM program in agriculture sector that targets to replace conventional pumps with 5-Star rated smart pumps, given free of cost to farmers with 5-year maintenance and on-site warranty. With this support they are able to save INR. 3,000 – 4,000 annually. The monetized reduction of state government subsidy through energy savings shall be used to pay for EESL investment over fixed project years. These pumps will be fitted with smart meters so that they can be operated remotely. Features such as alerts through SMS & Voice Call in regional languages have also been set up to save farmer’s time and fuel. It also features a panel & motor anti-theft application. The program has already made progress in 4 cities in India giving energy saving of up to 30%. It is also being promoted to take the pumps totally off-grid and be supported with solar energy. For instance, a 5HP pump set connected to 15kWp system can generate saving of INR 9560 per year. EE pump sets help the government to meet its Renewable Purchase Obligations (RPO), giving the farmer additional income and reducing power and financial load from the DISCOMs. Key Takeaways Standards and Labelling Program in India and Korea has been an important step in creating awareness about energy efficiency and energy in-efficient technologies among the consumers. This program has been one of the successful initiatives in the DSM measures. Advanced efficient technologies with remote monitoring infrastructure can help in better management of energy.

Special Session Dr. Ajay Mathur, Director General, The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI), India

“Policy cannot be framed without data”. This was the biggest challenge when Standards and Labeling Program was being designed at BEE. Before preparing anything, a deeper understanding of the consumer’s needs and consumption was important. It was initially thought to get manufacturers on board because of lack of data. During field research it was also observed that price is valued over energy, for any consumer. With this background and knowledge, the program started initially on a voluntary basis. Once the program started becoming popular it was noticed that the manufacturers slowly started getting on board by placing advertisements of energy efficient products beneath the BEE ads for the program. Having tested it on ground on voluntary basis, this program was then

converted into a mandatory program after 18 months, and the scope now covers 10 appliances. Given the rate at which technological advancements are taking place along with developments in trends in AI (artificial intelligence) EE is set to grow and advance in the foreseeable future. A technology that is 4-star rated today, will degrade to 3 or 2-star rating after some time because of this advancement. There is a greater need now more than ever to conduct field trials testing, demonstrable pilots and form partnerships and collaborations to bring more players on board in order to enable this further. Mr. Saurabh Kumar, Managing Director, EESL, India The need for such exchanges is extremely important. Such platforms have helped in knowledge sharing and support the development of energy efficiency mechanisms in India. Multilateral agencies play an important role in facilitating this transfer of knowledge from various regions and countries and enables respective regions to do what they can in their own country. The World Bank has recently sanctioned a USD 300 million loan for EE to EESL in India. Of this, USD 80 million will be used by banks to generate more bonds. Deployment and scale up of programs also require strengthening and establishing of institutional set ups and management to help facilitate implementation. This was the very reason behind the setup of BEE and EESL in India when India started to increase its EE efforts across the country. EESL is working on different financial models for different applications such as Pay as You Save and equity grants. On the buildings front, EESL has supported 6,000 government buildings that have been made energy efficient and 10,000 more the before the end of this year. Apart from this, EESL is also working on deployment of smart vehicles helping the Government of India fulfill its Electric Vehicle mission.

Session 5 Building Energy Efficiency Programs Theme Talk on Building Energy Efficiency in India – Mr. Sanjay Seth, Senior Director, TERI Increasing population, rapid urbanization and life style changes makes energy efficiency for the building sector critical for India. Of all the sectors, residential sector is growing at the fastest pace. It is expected that 60% of the population will live in urban areas by 2050. Residential and commercial sector cumulatively consume 37% of total electricity consumption and by 2021, residential electricity consumption is expected to be 5 times of 2006 figures. Fans followed by lighting are the maximum consumers of electricity, consuming a total of 62%. Household electricity consumption due to appliances is expected to increase significantly in the future due to growth in per capita income. A study by World Bank also suggests that lighting needs will grow by 8% by 2021. In case of commercial sector, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) consumes about 55% of total electricity consumption. It is estimated that 42,370 MW of power generation can be avoided in 2021 through introduction of building energy efficiency. The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE), government of India with technical Assistance from The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI) has introduced, Green Rating for integrated Habitat Assessment (GRIHA), an indigenous rating system for the buildings. It has been adopted from the US LEEDS rating but customized as per Indian climate. Energy Conservation Building Codes (ECBC) and Initiatives in Building Energy Efficiency in India – Mr. Saurabh Diddi, Director, BEE As per some studies, it is estimated that India will add 1 billion m2 of New Commercial Buildings by 2030. The Energy Conservation Act lays provisions for amendment of ECBCs with respect to use of energy in the buildings. It prescribes standards for building envelope (Walls, Roofs, and Windows), lighting (Indoor and Outdoor), and HVAC system, solar hot water heating and electrical systems. Salient features of this code are that it’s technologically neutral, integrates RE and finds applicability in various categories of building. ECBC compliance and energy monitoring remain key

challenges in its full-scale implementation in the states where they have been adopted. The government has developed dedicated web portal for the same that provides information on building performance, data monitoring, and simulations. ECO-NIWAS (Energy Conservation- New Indian way for Affordable Sustainable Homes) is an in interactive tool developed by BEE and GIZ launched for increasing awareness to build sustainable and energy efficient homes. Green Building Program India – Mr. S. Raghupathy, Deputy Director General, Confederation of Indian Industries (CII) The Indian Green Building Council (IGBC) was formed in 2001 under the aegis of Confederation of Indian Industries (CII), an apex Indian industry association. It was developed with a vision of enabling ‘sustainable built environment for all’ and for India to be one of the global leaders in sustainable built environment by 2025. As on date India has 4,573 Green Projects covering 5.30 billion square feet. Due to economies of scale and technological advancement, payback of green buildings has drastically come down from 5-8 years to 2-3 years. This was achieved through government and private sector working in close coordination and collaboration with each other to address the concerns. There are different drivers for diverse stakeholders. For instance, for Builder and Developers it is the customer that demands green spaces. IGBC address all type of buildings and helps them attract environmentally conscious customers. For corporates on the other hand, it is the brand image which is a driving factor. As of now, there are 5+ green townships, 13 green villages, 25-+ green factories, all across India. There are tangible benefits of reduced power demands and operation costs, health and safety benefits and improved productivity of occupants. By 2016-17 nearly 90% of products & materials are available in India that includes material, equipment and services. Green building business is estimated to be worth USD 300 billion in India. Building Energy Efficiency Program in India – Mr. Sanjay, National Program Manager, EESL Building EE gets impetus under Energy Conservation Act, 2001. Other government departments are also encouraged to adopt environmentally friendly efforts for green buildings. For instance, Housing and Urban Development Corporation (HUDCO) has been directed to research and promote green building materials. There are also demonstration projects across various states in the country. The Building Rating System of India focuses on energy use, indoor air quality, water conservation, material conservation, construction waste optimization, biodiversity protection, and the occupant’s health and comfort. Standard and Labelled appliances have been made mandatory in this case. Some challenges that the program implementation still faces since its launch are lack of awareness of energy efficiency projects, lack of baseline data in energy efficiency, ESCO credibility, lack of awareness about energy performance contracting, access to finance and technical know-how. Additionally, the projects don’t consider new technologies that are expensive. Building energy consumption accounts for over 30% of electrical energy consumption in the country and is rising annually at a rate of 8%. To facilitate the market, there are provisions by EESL under ESCO. There is cost aggregation by demand aggregation as well as comprehensive warranty by EESL. There is also National Building Dashboard to monitor the same. Excellence in Designs for Greater Efficiency in Buildings (EDGE Program) – Ms. Shruti Narayan, Lead, Green Building Program in India, The World Bank Group To make building greener in the urban revolution in India, IFC is supporting A Comprehensive Green Buildings Program to support India’s national goals, through the World Bank Group Climate Action plan in which energy efficiency and resilient buildings are important focus area. Affordable housing accounts of 96% of the residential sector. Even if 205 of this targeted, there can be a saving of 1.52 TWh/yr, 45990 million gallons/year ad 1.25 MT/year of CO2 carbon emission reduction. Three main innovations can lead to large scale adoption of green buildings – 1) simplification of assessment criteria and therefore reducing the time and cost to meet the standard; 2) focus on areas of resource use in buildings such as energy, eater and material, to save on people’s money and; 3) provision of an integrated tool which recommends cost-effective solutions to make the building design and specification ‘green’. A metrics-driven, scalable standard tool could bring together market players and prove the case for building a green, and reward innovative design. This laid the


24

foundation of the EDGE program, an IT platform that anyone can use in any 100 emerging economies. It’s a free software for choosing the most cost-effective ways to build green and a certification system to reward green building projects. Green Building Council of India is also a partner to EDGE. Under this program, as on date, $2 billion in investments has been made, building code has been developed in 5 countries, and the tool is available in 5 different languages and 125 countries. The software is regularly updated. VBHC Palm Haven is one such project in the Bangalore city of Karnataka, India, that has taken into consideration practical ideas to make it energy-efficient such as use of reflective paint, solar hot water systems where all the water is recycled and used back into the homes for flushing toilets. Perception of costs and affordability of green buildings are much higher than reality given falling technology costs. The World Green Building Council study showed that while the cost premium ranges from negative .5% to 12% higher, the perception is that it’s from 1% all the way to 30% higher. Estimates suggest green mortgages have lower risk rates, higher resale value and power utility bills. It was also realized that cost of constriction of green and non-green buildings is almost the same for the builders. Introduction to Korea’s green energy Building Policy – Mr. Joon, Kim, Deputy Director, Green Architecture & Policy Division, Ministry of Land, Infrastructure & Transport Energy consumption in Korea is increasing at a fast pace. Korea is globally ranked 9th in the electricity consumption and the total energy consumption of commercial public sector is increasing by 2.2% per year, whereas energy consumption in households is increasing by 0.59% annually. This trend exists despite stagnation of construction of new buildings. For enforcement countrywide, Ministry of Land, Transport and Maritime Affairs established the Green Architecture Division (March 2012) to support the Green Architecture Law, Building Energy Management System (BEMS, set up pilot projects and provide financial support. Insulation standards for windows and walls have been set to 100% reduction and mandatory by 2020 for both residential and non-residential buildings. It is estimated that If 50% of new buildings are built as zero energy buildings by 2025, 2.6 million tons of GHG can be reduced per year with 180,000 of new jobs), Green Architecture Basic Plan was launch in 2014. The policy will also enforce zero-energy building certification. By 2015, 3026 preliminary certifications were achieved from both residential and no-residential buildings; the government is also working on expansion and revision of certification standards. For existing buildings, Building Energy Management System integrates system of control, management and maintains a comfortable indoor environment of a building while using energy efficient technologies. There is a system set up for building energy evaluator which involves national level examination and qualification. The rules are in accordance with the Green building Support Act. In addition to adding more evaluators, the government is working extensively on expansion of non-residential business and increasing private interest. Key Takeaways Buildings are one of the biggest energy consumers. There is a need to have building codes as per climatic conditions. Smart energy management and energy efficient technologies can help in achieving improved energy performances in new age buildings.

Session 6 National Energy Efficiency Programs, Institutional Framework and New Initiatives Initiatives by State Designated Agencies – Mrs. P. Samal, Joint Director, BEE The Energy Conservation Act (EC Act), 2001 lays the provision for increasing energy efficient measures across the country. BEE which is the nodal agency to implement the act works in the domains of buildings, awareness creation, and star rating of appliances, NMEEE and DSM. Several National and state level programs have been launched since its creation which are voluntary or mandatory or both. State Designated Agencies (SDA are working to develop, facilitate, enforce and coordinate the EE activities for the PAT scheme. BEE works as regulator, implementer and adjudicator for this process at the central level. Section 15 of the ECA empowers the state governments to amend the


25

ECBC in their state. They’re also responsible for deployment of funds to SDAs to implement the programs. Based on the funding received by the SDA’s, they lead the program in selection of beneficiary urban local bodies (UBLs). Several EE demonstration projects have been set up in the areas of street lighting, water pumping (municipality and agricultural pump sets), retrofitting in buildings (HVAC, lighting etc.), smart controllers in water distribution systems, intelligent data monitoring in industries. SDAs are also responsible for maintenance and updating of the internet platform and other database created. They conduct capacity building programs for energy managers, auditors, designated consumers and ESCOs. These workshops also address practical issues faced by these professionals at ground. The State Energy Conservation Fund (SECF) is an instrument to overcome the major barriers for implementation of energy efficiency projects. The contribution under State Energy Conservation Fund (SECF) was made to those State Govt. / UT Administration who have created their SECF and finalized the rules and regulations to operationalize the same. Sources of SECF include state government budget allocations, special taxes, government bonds, funds from Bee, commercial financing, carbon financing, and IFIs. National Certification Program for Energy Professionals in India – Mr. A. K. Asthana, Senior Advisor, GIZ The ECA mandates appointment and designating Energy Auditors and getting energy audits conducted by Accredited Energy Auditors. The government conducts a National Certification examination for selection of these Energy Managers and Auditors. Energy Managers (EMs) are the focal point of energy management in any given organization. She/he provides the leadership in development of energy management policy, action plan, project management, personnel management, and financial management at the plant level. She/he also prepares report of energy management to be submitted to SDA. Energy Auditors (EAs), on the other hand, carry out detailed energy audits, construct energy and material balance, perform efficiency evaluation of energy and utility, prioritize and identify energy saving measures, prepares audit report and follow ups on the implementation. There is a defined criterion for the education qualification of EMs and EAs when being selected by an organization. There are 4 examination papers for a total of 11 hours. While an EM has to pass only 3 papers, EAs must clear all the 4 papers. 18 certification examinations have been conducted since 2004 in 24 main cities. 15,358 qualified certified Energy Managers, out of which 8,912 are certified Energy Auditors from the last 18 exams. There are now 238 Accredited Energy Auditors in India who are mandated to conduct energy audit in the energy intensive industry. Candidates mostly belong to the age group of 30-40 years and 7% of these students have a B.tech background. Of the qualified lot, 90% are employed whereas 105 are self-employed. Survey with candidates reveals that 98% find the course material to be useful and helped them to acquire necessary knowledge for the role they eventually take up. EE Standards and Labeling in Korea – Mr. Kyung-soon, Park, Director, International Cooperation Team, Global Project Division, KEA Standards and Labelling in Korea is a market transformation program to promote high energy efficient products by combining the mandatory and voluntary programs. Three major programs for market transformation include 1) EE labelling program, 2) High efficiency certification program, 3) E-stand by program. The program is included under the Energy Use Rationalization Act, Article 15, 16. The labelling program started in 1992 with just 3 items included and has now 29 items covered as of 2018.Very soon external converter and internal converter type LED would be included in it as well. KEA is delegated by MOTIE to register the reported products in accordance with the Energy Use Rationalization Act. A fine of up to 20 million KRW may be imposed for non-compliance if MEPS for an appliance are not met. The program is more popular among the manufacturers and manufacturers are required to label if the product is 30 to 50% higher than the 1st grade level. 5 products are regulated with network standby and/or smart function. These include ACs, TVs, washing machines, electric multi heat pumps and set top boxes. Networked Air Conditioners account for over 40% in 2016, and the networked types are more energy efficient than the normal ones. Analyses of these efforts in Korea reveal that the number of registered models has increased form 28,000 in 2013 to 58,000 in 2016 with registered companies increasing by 44% since 2013 figures.

There is also an award system in place known as SEAD (Super-Efficient Equipment and Appliance Deployment) awards, an initiative of the Clean Energy Ministerial and the International Partnership for Energy Efficiency Cooperation which aim to make it easier for governments and the private sector to capitalize on these opportunities and is mostly dominated by TV companies. National Motor Replacement Program and Trigeneration in India – Mr. S. P. Garnaik, Chief General Manager (Technical), EESL About 90%-95% installed motors in India are IE1 or IE0 (efficiency classes for induction motors where IE stands for International Efficiency) base, which are typically energy inefficient. The Department of Industrial Policy & Promotion ordered the replacement of these with at least, IE2 compliance that are more efficient than IE1 and IE0. With this background, EESL brought its first voluntary Motor Replacement Program to accelerate the replacement of inefficient motors with IE3 motors providing end users benefit of electricity conservation and extended warranty. IE3 motors are 81% more energy efficient, each costing about INR 45,000. The target group for this program is the PAT industries and SMEs and these will be implemented through ESCO model. The project duration is 3 years with a warranty of 3 years as well. EESL will be responsible for post installation verification on a sample basis. A confirmed demand of 40,000 motors has been generated thus far and bulk procurement is targeted to achieve price reduction. While EESL is responsible for the procurement of the product, the installation is to be done by the customer. Pilot studies under this program have already revealed energy savings of 13-15%. Several big companies such as Crompton Greaves, ABB, Siemens, and BBL have come on board with reduced prices for bulk procurement of the product. There is a dedicated dashboard for monitoring the progressive the project. Similar to this program, EESL is also exploring options of tri-generation or combined heat and power and has already made advancements in this aspect. This program finds huge relevance in two major markets 1) commercial buildings and facilities where heating, cooling and electricity constitutes almost 90% of the energy bill and 2) industry where it constitutes around 30 - 50% of the manufacturing cost. While there exists proven technology, it still needs to be verified on-ground. Adoption of this technology can increase system efficiency from 30%to 80%. EESL is leading the component of National Cooling Action Plan. EESL has also recently acquired service provided of CHP in Europe and have exclusive tie up with a leading VAM supplier in India. Key Takeaways Understanding of energy consumption data of various sectors is important. This data can help to develop sector specific programs at national or state level to achieve Energy Efficiency.

Session 7 Wrap up World Bank Global Energy Efficiency Portfolio – Dr. Ashok Sarkar, Senior Energy Specialist, The World Bank WB has a wide investment portfolio and has mostly invested directly in projects or through development of policy lending. Even though WB’s EE investment portfolio has declined but with whatever investments that have been made across the world, it can be unanimously said that there is still huge EE potential to be tapped in all sectors. WB strongly believes that deployment in EE is an attractive energy source. For instance, KEA got one of the earliest loans from WB in 1960s to scale-up their EE program. Action in five domains can ensure a successful EE program – developing institutional framework, creating and accessing financing options, knowledge sharing, and development of policies and regulation s and building technical capacity. WB has worked with industrial and commercial sectors through providing line of credit, loan guarantees and mezzanine funds. They have also invested in public financing, EE development funds, super ESCOs, credit lines and loan guarantees with public and municipal organizations. Choice of EE financing mechanisms is dependent on country context, end user, maturity of financial market, and supportive policy and regulatory framework. Given the scope of a developed EE market in India, WB has invested in this sector through Partial Risk Guarantee and credit lines. They recently provided a USD 300 million line of credit to EESL for wider outreach of EESL programs. The importance and need of effective policies to help develop innovative business models and financing mechanisms was also touched upon. Closing Remarks, Mr. Pankaj Kumar, Secretary, BEE

The South Asian and African regions are diverse and have different climatic zones. Therefore, while we learn from the developed Northern countries, it is important to share and learn from our own innovation. Knowledge exchange workshops and trainings like this are critical for sharing experiences and learn from each other and help formulate collaborations and partnerships. India has taken several initiatives in EE sector at national, state and central level such as standards and labeling, handholding of MSMEs through training and technology transfer, DSM in agriculture, municipalities and DISCOMs. There still exist challenges that need to be addressed. Success of a program is also dependent on the state

government’s active participation. For instance, replacing 90 million pumps under Motor Replacement Program is not a smooth ride. DISCOMs get subsidies from states and agriculture sector gets subsidized electricity therefore, it adds to the cost of the government. States are also moving to street lights revamping and replacement with LEDs in which EESL has taken a lead.


28

Distribution of Completion Certificates The morning session ended with the distribution of program completion certificates to all the participants from South Asian countries, South Korea, Africa and from India. The certificates were signed jointly by (i) Mr. Abhay Bakre, Director General, BEE; (ii) Mr. Saurabh Kumar, Managing Director, EESL and (iii) Dr. Junaid Ahmad, India Country Director, World Bank. The certificates were distributed by Mr. Pankaj Kumar, Secretary, BEE. Field Visits The second half of the Day-4 and the Day-5 was dedicated to the field visits. On Day-4, the participants were taken to the EESL’s LED Street Lighting site at Defence Colony in New Delhi. On Day-5, during the first half, the visit to NITI Aayog building was organized to show the energy efficiency program in public building implemented by EESL and during the second half, the participants visited the Intertek Lab to see the testing of home appliances and equipment.

Quotable Quotes, Communication and Outreach

“Reaching out to consumers and

manufacturers matter for success of any national program” Ajay Mathur, TERI

“There is a need to convert audits into actual implementation” Saurabh Kumar, EESL “EE is mainly a government initiative, so there is very less participation from the private sector side. Therefore, a market mechanism is required for quick uptake of EE but that sector” Ugyen, Bhutan We not only need reduction in energy consumption but also rationalization of the energy use” Rezaul Hoq, Bangladesh “We need balance between mitigation and adaptation” Gi-jeung, Um, KRICC “It is not one approach but multiple approaches to adopt for achieving EE” Ahmed, Morocco

“First fuel is EE and then comes RE. You generate

what you consume so consume efficiently to generate less.” Girish Sethi, TERI

“Profitability increases, credibility increases, and

you get chance to expand your business” Manoj Kumar, SIDBI

“For the sector to transform need to concentrate on technology, regulatory, institutional and financial

transformation” S.P. Garnaik, EESL

Evaluation, Feedback and Recommendations IIEC conducted an evaluation through a short survey form through which the participants shared constructive feedback about the week-long Exchange Program. The participants also shared some valuable suggestions on how to improve such knowledge exchange programs in the future. Overall, the evaluation results indicate (see survey, Annex 2) the program was well received by the participants. At the end of the one-week training, they found this program extremely rewarding, as they highly appreciated the value add provided to improve their knowledge on a number of relevant EE topics across the region. The overall program and content of the sessions was found to be quite relevant by all participants. 77% of the participants agreed that the program was relevant to their work and the country’s needs and 73% of the participants felt that the sessions were designed to cover almost most aspects of EE that were useful to them. The presentations made by the Indian speakers gave the participants ideas and content relevant to their respective country programs. The participants actively interacted with the speakers to find out more about the key factors of success of EE in India and how they could be replicated so these South Asian nations would be able to become more energy efficient. 86% of the attendees felt that the speakers were able to answer their questions fully and satisfactorily. The group indicated that the most valuable takeaway from the week-long exchange was the session on information sharing of energy efficiency policies and programs in various countries. Participants also expressed the need for in-depth study and more time dedicated to such specific subjects during the program in future. Given the overall feedback and observations made during the program, it is certain that such type of an exchange not only helps in information exchange but also helps the participants forge relationships and develop programs which can enhance the deployment of EE across the South Asia region. Some overarching themes and key takeaways from the program evaluation include:

1. An opportunity to support the South Asian countries in helping to develop a clean energy framework with EE measures taken into consideration.

2. Training and capacity building on EE of government officials from the region through similar exchange programs.

3. EE is often side-lined in the funding planning while countries maybe making efforts to adopt clean energy

mechanisms. There is a great opportunity here for strengthening and capacity building of FI’s.

4. The learnings from the success of the EE Standards and Labeling program in many countries must be used to help other nations to adopt it as well.

5. Buildings present a huge opportunity in terms of being the biggest energy consumers where programs such as smart energy management and energy efficient technologies can help in achieving the EE targets. This presents an opportunity for international FIs that can support such programs.

6. Data on EE continues to be a big challenge. There is a tremendous opportunity for conducting more energy

research to develop country level frameworks.
