Making energy efficiency markets work

The India-UK partnership has focused on unlocking India's energy efficiency sector through technical assistance, advocacy, and the development of investment strategies. Key efforts targeted buildings, industrial efficiency, standards, labelling, and demand-side management, involving stakeholders like the Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE). The brief highlights that while India has implemented significant schemes such as the Perform, Achieve and Trade scheme, the viability of energy efficiency investments remains dependent on national and state-level policies and the coordination of multi-level government and non-government actors.

• Energy efficiency is identified as the most cost-effective method for India to satisfy its energy requirements while decoupling economic growth from emissions increases.
• The India-UK partnership provided technical assistance and expertise to target specific areas including finance, industrial efficiency, demand side management, standards and labelling, and buildings.
• India has implemented several major initiatives to advance energy security and efficiency, specifically the Energy Conservation Building Code, the Standards and Labelling program, and the Perform, Achieve and Trade scheme.
