Background

Objective

Perform, Achieve and Trade (PAT) is a regulatory instrument to reduce Specific Energy Consumption in energy intensive industries, with an associated market based mechanism to enhance the cost effectiveness through certification of excess energy saving which can be traded.

PAT is a mechanism for improvements in energy efficiency of energy intensive industries. Specific high energy intensive industries are identified as Designated Consumers (DCs) within certain key sectors, who are required to appoint an energy manager, file energy consumption returns every year and conduct mandatory energy audits regularly. The key tasks in the PAT mechanism is to set the methodology for deciding the Specific Energy Consumption (SEC) norms for each designated consumers in the baseline year and in the target years, devise verification process for SEC, finding ways of issuing the Energy Savings Certificates, operationalization of the trading process for ESCerts in addition to the compliance and reconciliation process for ESCerts.

Background

Recognizing the need to maintain a high growth rate for increasing the living standards of vast majority of people and reducing the vulnerability to adverse impacts of Climate Change, National Action Plan on Climate Change (NAPCC) was released in June 2008. NAPCC outlined eight national missions representing long-term and integrated strategies for achieving key goals in the context of climate change. The National Mission for Enhanced Energy Efficiency (NMEEE) is one of the eight missions released under the NAPCC. The implementation plans for NMEEE were entrusted with the Ministry of Power and Bureau of Energy Efficiency. NMEEE unrolled the following four initiatives:

  • Perform Achieve and Trade Scheme(PAT)
  • Market transformation for Energy Efficiency(MTEE)
  • Energy Efficiency Financing Platform(EEFP)
  • Framework for Energy Efficient Economic Development(FEEED)

Creation of the PAT mechanism comes from the provisions of the Energy Conservation Act, 2001 which also empowers the Central Government to notify energy intensive industries as listed out in the Schedule to the Act, as Designated Consumers (DCs).

Bureau of Energy Efficiency had conducted sector specific studies for setting of energy consumption norms and standards. The studies showed that there is a wide bandwidth of SEC within an industrial sector that indicated large energy-savings potential in the sector. For setting targets for Designated Consumers, BEE had carried out background work to enable designing of a transparent, flexible, efficient and robust system for the PAT mechanism. BEE also consulted key stakeholders like Designated Consumers, Energy Auditors/ Managers, Industry Associations, Academics, etc. and solicited comments while framing the complete mechanism of PAT Scheme.
