1. INTRODUCTION

A. BACKGROUND

India’s economy has experienced remarkable growth in the last 5 years, and is likely to continue to beone of the fastest growing in the world. In order to support the economic growth, substantialadditional energy resources are needed. However, because investments in power generation,transmission, and distribution have not been able to keep up with the economic growth, India’selectricity sector is characterized by problems of inadequate capacity, poor quality and reliability.Uttarakhand, the developing industrial state in India and facing shortage of electricity. Theseshortages are especially detrimental to industry and commerce that have been the main enginespowering economic growth and development since the liberalization in 1991. While it will be verydifficult to solve the chronic inadequacies in electricity supply, it is likely that a major contributioncan be made to reducing the supply-demand imbalance through the improvement of energy efficiency

The energy consumption per unit of gross domestic product (GDP) in India and Uttarakhand is veryhigh compared to the U.S.A., the European Union, Japan, and even other Asian countries. Theinefficiencies in India’s existing energy utilization and the potential benefits of energy efficiencyimprovement have long been recognized and are very large. In 2001, the Government of India (GOI)enacted the Energy Conservation Act and established the Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) in theMinistry of Power as the nodal Central Government agency responsible for spearheading theimprovement of energy efficiency through a combination of regulatory and promotional instruments.The mission of BEE is to “institutionalize energy efficiency services, promote energy efficiencydelivery mechanisms, and provide leadership to improvement of energy efficiency in all sectors of theeconomy.”

While centralized planning and design of energy efficiency (EE) programmes is being undertakenby BEE, it must be supported by a strong and vigorous decentralized programme at the state level.Indeed, anticipating such a need, the Energy Conservation Act 2001 provided for the establishmentof state energy conservation agencies to plan and execute programmes. Many Indian states arecomparable in population to European countries (and much larger than U.S. States), but untilrecently, hardly any attention has been devoted to developing a state energy conservation plan orstrategy. While countries like France, Holland, Sweden or Germany in the European Union, and U.S.States such as New York and California, have effective energy efficiency programmes reflectingtheir specific supply-demand situation, load profile and customer bases, Indian states have been farbehind in even contemplating, leave alone implementing, alternatives to either state or centrally drivenenergy supply plans.

In response to the Energy Conservation Act 2001 (EC Act), the Government of Uttarakhand hasdesignated the Uttarakhand Renewable Energy Development Agency (UREDA) as the nodal agencyfor energy conservation with responsibility to coordinate, regulate and enforce the provisions of theEC Act in Uttarakhand. In addition, UREDA has been assigned the responsibility of developing astrategic plan for energy conservation for Uttarakhand. The Energy Consultancy Agency AECEPprovided assistance to UREDA for the development of the Strategic Energy Conservation Plan. Thisreport presents the results of the efforts carried out by the Association Of Energy Conservation &Environment Protection (AECEP) under a Cooperative Agreement with UREDA.

About - Energy Management Cell

Madhya Pradesh is one of the most potential states in the country and making a phase shift for bigindustrialization. To fuel this socio -economic growth, it needs Enormous quantities of energy and power.However, at present the state is unable to meet its energy requirements. Thus it is clear that fossil fuelsdomination must pave way for a larger share of environmentally benign renewable sources of energy.

There is another option for reducing the gap between energy demand and supply i.e. conserving energy at allthe fronts: industrial, commercial and domestic. Indeed, energy conservation and utilization of renewableenergy technologies (RETs) are co mplimentary. However it is essential to undertake energy conservationmeasures first, thereby reducing the energy consumption to a large extent and then ways and means need to beidentified as to where and how much of this energy needs could be met through RETs.

Energy Efficiency & Energy Conservation Programme

Energy conservation is a high priority area for the Government, especially in the light of shortage beingwitnessed in power distribution.

Taking into account, the successful role played by MPUVN in promoting renewable energy projects, as per theprovisions of Energy Conservation Act 2001; BEE in consultation with state Government has appointed MPURJA VIKAS NIGAM LTD; as State Designated Agency (SDA) for MP. This facilitates promotion & thedelivery mechanism for energy efficiency services and implementation of Demand Side Management (DSM)schemes.

AECEP 9

To give proper impetus to energy management activities, MPUVN has created an 'Energy Management Cell'.The objective of this cell is to accelerate the ene rgy management activities in the state. The engineers of the'cell' are from multidiscipline , whom specific training has been imparted by Energy Management Centre(EMC), Dept of Power, Govt. of India, under their 'Programme for Building Energy Audit Servi ces'(PROBE).

The cell is equipped with an energy van with state of the art diagnostic instruments to carry out energymanagement studies, which covers complete study, analysis, recommendations for energy conservation andinputs for commercially viable Rene wable energy usage. Also recommendations for power generation fromwastes and NRSE are given.

Electricity is by and large drawn from the State Electricity Board (MPEB). In certain cases diesel generatorsserve as standby and are used in the event of power breakdowns. Renewable energy Technologies, (Biomassgasifier/combustion systems, Solar P.V., Industrial waste to energy units etc.)* Which have the furtheradvantage of having the capacity to function as independent and autonomous units can be used to supp lementthe net power requirement & provide backup support. Apart from power generation, renewable energyTechnologies have other commercially viable applications such as Solar water Heating Systems, Solar stills,P.V. equipment (PV street lights, Lanterns etc.), Solar Dryers/kilns, Solar cookers, Bio -gas from Industrialeffluents etc

2. UREDA BACKGROUND AND OVERVIEW

A. INTRODUCTION

In response to the energy crisis in the 1970s, the Government of India created an independent ministryfor renewable energy, the Ministry of Non-conventional Energy Sources (MNES) in the early 1980s.In line with the Central Government policy, GoU created Uttarakhand Energy Development Agency(UREDA)., UREDA as an organization commenced functioning from July 2001. UREDA's objectiveis to undertake development of renewable energy and facilitate energy conservation in the State ofUttarakhand, as a state nodal agency under the umbrella of the MNES. Since its establishment,UREDA did extensive work in the field of renewable energy focusing on rural areas .

In the past few years, technologies of generation of grid-connected power from renewable sourceshave been maturing and becoming popular in India. With participation of the private sector, UREDAhas been able to facilitate establishment of power projects with other renewable sources of energyalso.

UREDA has undergone organizational restructuring in the past few years from a largely rural “StandAlone System” oriented organization to a significant player in the field of generation of power fromrenewable. Generation of power from environment friendly resources has become the need of thehour. The Government of India has accordingly adopted a target of 10 % of the additional powercapacity established in the next 10 years from renewable sources.

B. UREDA OBJECTIVES

The primary objectives of UREDA are to:

Promote, develop and implement non-conventional, renewable and alternate energydevices and technologies.

Take concrete steps for conventional energy conservation measures in industries,commercial establishments and domestic sectors.

Assist the Government of India and Government of Uttarakhand in renewable energyprogramme implementation.

Evolve suitable alternatives to meet the burgeoning energy demand.

Install demonstration power projects with own investment to instill confidence in newentrants and private investors.

Pursue power projects based on renewable energy with large-scale privateinvestments in commercially viable projects by creating suitable policy environment.

Information dissemination and public awareness through training programmes,publications, exhibitions, seminars and conferences.

Support large-scale distribution and marketing of stand-alone renewable energydevices by participating in field viability and commercialization exercises throughinnovative financing mechanism and creating investment opportunities.

C. DESIGNATION OF UREDA AS THE NODAL AGENCY FOR ENERGYCONSERVATION

The Government of Uttarakhand, in exercise of the powers conferred under clause (d) of section 15 ofthe Energy Conservation Act (Central Act no.52 of 2001), has designated the UREDA as "TheDesignated Agency" to coordinate, regulate and enforce the provisions of the Act, and also toimplement Schemes under the said Act within the State of Uttarakhand. This is a significant stepforward for UREDA, who as the state nodal agency for renewable energy, now has the additionalresponsibility of promoting and developing energy efficiency.

Key Action Steps

A. ROSHAN GHAR – RESIDENTIAL HIGH EFFICIENCY LIGHTING PROGRAMME

The Roshan Ghar Programme is a Residential High Efficiency Programme to increase the use ofCompact Fluorescent Lights and high efficiency fluorescent tube lights (efficient FTL) inhomes in Uttarakhand.

Programme Name ROSHAN GHAR – Residential High Efficiency LightingProgramme

Background Residential lighting is represents a large portion of the electricityconsumed in the state and contributes a disproportionately largeamount to the evening system peak load. Most existing households useincandescent lamps and low efficiency fluorescent tube lights (FTLS)for home lighting. High efficiency lighting technologies such aCompact fluorescent lamps (CFL) and efficient FTLs (T-8 or T-5 lamps) are available in Uttarakhand but have achieved a low levelof penetration. Promotion of these technologies will contributesignificantly to reduced energy consumption and peak loads.

Rationale Both CFLs and efficient FTLs are widely available in Uttarakhand.Manufacturers and/or suppliers of CFL include Philips, Osram,Sylvania, Surya, Bajaj Electronics and others. CFLs are an excellentexample of an energy-efficient technology that can also contributesignificantly to peak load reduction. Comparable total light outputfrom a compact fluorescent scheme may be obtained for onlyaround 20-25% of the wattage required when using standard

AECEP 27

incandescent lamps. The rated life of the compact fluorescent lampsavailable can be 5 to 10 times longer than for incandescent lamps.Therefore CFLs can save as much as 75 to 80% of the energy usedfor lighting (compared to an incandescent lamp), therebycontributing significantly to reduction of the evening peak loads.Typical simple paybacks for CFLs are in the range of one year.Lamp replacement costs are reduced due to the long life. However,due to lack of knowledge and awareness of the benefits of CFLs, thehigh initial cost of the CFL, and the perception of risk of failure of thelamp have severely limited the purchase of these lamps in theresidential sector.

Similarly high efficiency FTL can reduce energy consumption by atleast 10% (in the case of T-8 lamps) over conventional FTLs. Thesehigh efficiency lamps can fit into existing fixtures thereby making iteasy to replace the conventional FTL. Also the high efficiency FTLcan be combined with high efficiency electronic chokes to furtherreduce energy consumption,

Therefore, the reasons for considering a residential high efficiencylighting programme are:

Lighting contributes to a substantial amount to peak electricloads

The efficient lighting technologies can easily substituteconventional inefficient technologies.

The potential for reduction in energy consumption and peakload reduction is very high

The economics are attractive.Programme Objectives Increase the penetration of CFLs and efficient FTLs in

households

Facilitate market transformation

Reduce lighting energy consumption and evening peak loads

Programme Design The programme will have two major components – A cooperativemarketing and promotion campaign and a financing programmeto facilitate customer purchase of the efficient lamps.

The first component will involve cooperative advertising andpromotion of CFLs and efficient FTLs with manufacturers and/orsuppliers. Participating manufacturers and suppliers will be selectedusing a competitive tender process that will include an assessment ofthe technical specifications and demonstrated performance of theirproducts as well as their experience, financial stability, pricing andwarranties. It is anticipated that the participating suppliers will providebetter warranties and reduced pricing compared to those currentlyavailable in the retail market. UREDA will develop astatewide marketing and promotion campaign with the activeparticipation (including co-funding) of the selected manufacturersand suppliers. The campaign will include the following:

AECEP 28

Branding of the efficient technologies

Radio and TV advertisements

Newspaper advertisements

Leaflets, banners and other promotion media

Demonstration projects

UREDA will select a marketing and promotion firm to developthe marketing and promotion strategy and design and produce theneeded materials (in cooperation with the participatingmanufacturers and suppliers).

In the second component UREDA will develop a financingprogramme in cooperation with UPCL. In this version of theprogramme, manufacturers and suppliers will be selectedcompetitively as in the first component. The customer will obtain thelamp from the supplier at no up-front cost and will sign an agreementwith the utility to pay for the lamp over a period of time (about9 to 12 months). The utility will collect the customer paymentsfor the lamps through the utility bills, and will structure themonthly payments for the lamps to be lower than the customersavings form using the lamps. The utility will then reimburse themanufacturers and suppliers from the funds collected from thecustomers. UREDA will also consider the participation of afinancial institution (FI) (or use funds from the EC Fund) tofiancé the sales transaction. In this design the FI will pay themanufacturers for the lamps provided to the customers and the utilitywill reimburse the FI as the funds are collected from the customerthrough the utility bills.

Target Market Segments Residential customers

End Uses Targeted Lighting (incandescent and conventional FTL)

Key Barriers Addressed High first cost of the technology

Technology awareness

Hard-to-reach market segments

Data collection and evaluation

Financing (under the utility option)

Technologies to beEmployed

Compact Fluorescent Lamps (CFL) - CFLs will be promoted toreplace incandescent lamps. The most common application of CFLswill be to replace a 60 Watt incandescent with an 11 or 12 Watt CFL,which produces the same amount of light using 20% of the energy andlasts 8 to 10 times longer.

Efficient Fluorescent Tube Lamps (Efficient FTL or T-8 lamps) -Efficient FTLs (36 watt lamps) are priced at the same level as thestandard FTL (40 watt lamps) but use 10% less energy to provide thesame light output.

Marketing Strategy Marketing will be targeted to the following categories of marketparticipants:

Residential customer – to increase awareness and to makethem seek the product

Distributors and retail outlets – to encourage theirparticipation in the programme

Manufacturers and suppliers – to enroll them into theprogramme.

Programme Start Date December 1, 2009


AECEP 31

Financing Approach UREDA shall develop and demonstrate a set of implementationand financing mechanisms for public/private partnerships to financeand implement energy efficiency projects in government buildings.While a large number of options are available for financing andimplementation, UREDA shall focus on a set of generic strategiesfor financing and implementation.

The alternative “models” for financing and implementation includedifferent roles for the state government agency, a financial institution, anenergy service company (ESCO) or an EPC (engineering, procurementand construction) contractor, and possibly a credit guarantee provider.The three “generic” models that can be used are similar to the modelsdiscussed above for the municipal energy efficiency programme.

Model 1 - Equity financing by the state government agency, withimplementation by an EPC contractor (with appropriateequipment performance guarantees).

Model 2 - Financing by a financial institution (FI) to the stateagency, with implementation by an ESCO or an EPC contractor.

Model 3 - Financing by a financial institution (FI) to the ESCOwith the state agency signing an energy services agreement (ESA)with the ESCO using the principles of performance contracting.

C. SOLAR WATER HEATING PROGRAMME

Solar Water Heating Programme is an energy efficiency programme targeted to implementingenergy efficiency in residential, public & domestic buildings.

Programme Name SOLAR WATER HEATING PROGRAMME

Background The electricity consumption of consumers of Uttarakhand StateElectricity Board (USEB) for Domestic are 1174.220 MU, forCommercial 711.417 MU, for Industries 2287.657 MU, for Agriculture300.199 MU and for others are 2 62.612 MU. Though the residentialsector shows higher average realization, any savings made in theresidential sector will benefit the utilities as the average cost of supplyof electricity. (Source : UK Economics & Statistic Rept. 2008 -09). In thecase of USEB, considering average 10% consumption from theresidential consumers towards water heating applications. With anassumption of 40% of consumers in Uttarakhand using 2 KW waterheaters (geysers and immersion rods). With an optimistic diversity/co-incidence factor of 50%, total technical off-setting potential ofconverting electricity-based water heating application to acombination of renewable and low-carbon intensity fossil fuel (LPGfor example) is remarkable saving of electricity. Growth in theresidential sector, electricity consumption is continuously going up andit gives long-range impact of Energy Saving.

Several interventions have addressed this challenge promoting solar-water heating system. Due to the technological challenges related tonon-occurrence days of solar energy and overnight temperature drop ofclose to 5 deg Centigrade, the reliability of solar-water heaters has beenquestioned. In order to meet the hot water requirement on the other hand,users and the system suppliers have used electrical booster systems of 2to 2.2 KW capacities.

Rationale The Solar water heating programme is targeted at improving the end-useefficiency and reducing peak electric loads by replacing the currentelectrical geysers or combination of SWH with electrical boostersto reliable integrated SWH systems (SWH or a combination of SWHand LPG/NG-fired instant geysers at the point of use). Through a jointeffort by the utilities and suppliers, UREDA will promote the use ofintegrated systems in the residential sector.

D. INDUSTRIAL ENERGY CONSERVATION PROGRAMME

Industrial Energy Conservation Programme is targeted towards improving the productivity andlowering the specific energy costs of small and medium Industries in partnership with relevantstakeholders in the State of Uttarakhand.

Programme Name Industrial Energy Conservation Programme

Background As the growing industrial State of the country, Uttarakhand hasmore than 900 Regd. Factories in which 400 industries have morethen 500 Kw connected load (source: UPC). This sector plays a crucialrole in the rapid and balanced development of the State. This sectorrepresents a large potential for energy efficiency improvement, but theimplementation of energy efficiency projects in this sector has beenvery limited.

UREDA has been actively pursuing energy efficiency goals inthe different economic sectors.

AECEP 34

Rationale Industrial Energy Conservation are vital to the State economybecause of their substantial contribution to production, employmentand export while requiring relatively lower capital investments.

To tackle the rapidly rising cost of energy, large and organized industrieshave adopted energy conservation and efficiency measures through theenhancement of technology as well as management to the extent thatsome industries have attained energy performance standards comparableto the international leaders. However, because of the lack of skilledtechnical and management personnel, poor access to relevantinformation and capital limitations, similar improvements have not beenachieved by the Industries. Many of these industries suffer fromlower productivity due to outdated technologies, improperproduction management and poor operation and maintenancepractices. Without adequate support, these enterprises are likely toperish in the face of the falling trade barriers, creating considerablesocial problems with the rapid loss of employment.

UREDA needs to have an alternate strategy to assist much greater numberof industries for achieving higher energy savings. The focus could be tomove away from supporting individual enterprises to exploring genericsolutions for industrial sub-sectors and mobilizing relevant stakeholdersfor wider and effective dissemination of suitable solutions.

Programme Objectives Focus on Industries in targeted sub-sectors to find genericsolutions to the constraints of lower productivity and higherspecific energy consumption

Ensure implementation of the identified generic solutions acrossa wide range of enterprises

Facilitate the development of a market for energy efficiencyproducts and processes

Programme Design Emphasis on Productivity Improvement - The programme willemphasize improving the productivity of the Industries, bypromoting better management of production process,improved operation and maintenance practices andadoption of simple and cost-effective generic technological solutions.Industries are likely to respond better to this approach which,while focusing on increasing revenues and ensuring employment oftheir personnel, helps to improve the efficiency of resource use(raw material, energy, etc.) and lower the generation of waste andthe adverse impact on the environment.

Catalytic Role of UREDA - UREDA will play the catalytic roleof involving the stakeholders that are closely associated with the SMEsto identify the industrial sub-sectors that contribute to highindustrial production and employment creation while accounting forhigher shares of energy consumption. UREDA will assist thestakeholders in defining procedure for gathering the data necessary forsetting up baseline energy performance indicators to correlate theproduction with the energy use.

Approach - With the help of the sub-sectoral data available, UREDAwill retain 2-3 important sub-sectors for extending support in the pilotphase. Using these data, UREDA will identify a sample of 4-6enterprises representing various sizes, with relatively high or lowspecific energy consumptions. UREDA will then engage competentand experienced energy auditors to undertake comparative studiesin these sample industries to identify the technical and non-technical reasons for the variations in performances and to retainfeasible and generic solutions on the basis of cost-benefit analyses.

AECEP 35

UREDA will interact with manufacturers and vendors of energy efficientproducts and processes, ESCOs and financial intermediaries to help setup demonstration of suitable technologies and best practices that haveconsiderable replication potential in the selected sub-sectors. Therelevant stakeholders will be supported to widely disseminate the resultsof the pilot phase of activity to the targeted industrial sub-sectors, mainlythrough practical training workshops.

F. ENERGY EFFICIENCY FINANCING PROGRAMME

The Energy Efficiency Financing is a programme that works with private sector financialinstitutions to provide a credit guarantee to EE projects implemented by ESCOs or by project hosts.The guarantee will cover a portion of the project implementation cost (“Partial Credit Guarantee”).

Programme Name Energy Efficiency Financing Programme

Background A number of financing barriers limit the implementation of EE projectsby the private sector. Financing issues include limited capital availabilityon the part of project hosts as well as the ESCOs seeking to implementprojects, lack of understanding and an undue perception of risk on thepart of financial institutions, high development and transaction costs forpreparing and financing “investment grade” or “bankable” projects, andthe poor creditworthiness of many project hosts.

Many of these barriers can be addressed by the development of creativefinancial products such as a Partial Credit Guarantee (PCG). TheInternational Finance Corporation and the Global Environment Facility(GEF) have successfully developed and applied the PCG approach tostimulate the markets for EE financing in Hungary and other countries inEastern and Central Europe. The Asian Development Bank isconsidering the development of similar products for the Indian market incooperation with GEF.

Rationale A partial credit guarantee facility can reduce the risk of financing EEprojects to financial institutions and encourage them to make more andlarger loans to EE projects. The standardizing of project agreements andproject evaluation requirements through the PCG programme willhelp streamline the development of bankable EE projects and reducethe development and transaction costs for such projects. UREDAfunds, leveraged with other funds (such as funds form IREDA andBEE) can be used to provide guarantee reserves that will allowfor substantial leveraging of private sector funds (from projecthosts, ESCOs and financial institutions) to increase the funding for EEprojects.

The PCG facility will be combined with a technical assistance (TA)programme that will increase the knowledge and awareness offinancial institutions (FIs) regarding the structuring of EE projectsand their benefits, and will help reduce the FIs’ perceptions of risksof these projects. The TA will also provide assistance indeveloping new financial structures and products customized to theneeds of specific market segments. The TA funds will be

AECEP 39

targeted at developing standardized energy service agreements andfinancing agreements and appropriate credit enhancement tools for thetarget market segments.

Programme Objectives The programme objectives are:

Increase financing of energy efficiency projects

Mitigate ESCO risks and increase number of ESCO projects

Change the risk perceptions of financial institutions regardingenergy efficiency projects

Programme Design UREDA will use finds from the State Energy Conservation Fund(EC Fund) to provide partial credit guarantees (PCG) for 50% of theproject cost. If the customer or ESCO defaults, the financialinstitution will be guaranteed to receive a minimum of 50% of thepayments due to the ESCO. This guarantee does not apply toany ESCO performance shortfalls in terms of savings deliveredor other ESCO contractual obligations under the energy servicesagreement. UREDA will work with ESCOs and banks/financing institutionsto develop a standardized credit guarantee process and agreement.The ESCO will use the guarantee as part of its project structuringeffort and contractual process to complete the sale. Since thecustomer’s credit has been enhanced and the credit risk has beenreduced, the ESCO and the financial institution will be able to offerbetter terms to the customer. The EC Fund will charge a small fee tothe financial institution for the guarantee.

G. AGRICULTURAL EFFICIENCY PROGRAMME

Agricultural Energy Efficiency Programme will improve the end-use energy efficiency in theagricultural sector by changing pumping machinery through a joint effort of USEB and UREDA usinga variety of activities including promotion, training and capacity building of artisans in rewindingshops.

Programme Name Agriculture Energy Efficiency Programme

Background Agriculture sector in Uttarakhand play a significant role. Agriculturesector also faces issues related to the time of supply of electricityto the farmers and social aspects linked with the night- irrigation.USEB’s measures linked to feeder segregation has also lead todistortion in the system due to illegal conversion of single phase tothree phase supply with the phase converters. Adverse power factor as aresult of non-standard pumping equipment and non-reliable supplyvoltage (with variations up to minus 30%) have resulted in systemfailure at the feeder and end-use. On an average, the pump-sets need tobe rewound at least in a year resulting in higher cost factor inputs to thefarmers. Frequent rewinding also results in inefficient pumpingmachinery used in the field, resulting in higher losses at the end use.Several studies in the agriculture sector have indicated benefits atdifferent levels:

Higher end-use efficiency with energy efficient pump-sets, withwide-voltage variation motors

Increased reliability of electricity distribution with potential toincrease the number of pumping hours

Energy savings potential of close to 20 to 25% is expected with theenergy efficient pump-sets. Intermediation in this sector will notnecessarily result in reducing peak demand as the current supply to thissector is in the non-peak hours.

5. UTTARAKHAND ENERGY CONSERVATION FUND

A. BACKGROUND

It has long recognized that energy plays a crucial role in national and state economic development.Both government and industry have publicly stated the benefits of improvement in energy efficiency.Improving the efficiency of energy extraction, conversion, transportation, distribution, and utilizationcan lead to significant improvements in productivity, competitiveness, and job creation. Morerecently, the linkages between energy and the environment and the benefits of energy efficiency forboth the local and the global environment have also been recognized. Also, a number of studies havepointed out the tremendous potential for improvement of energy efficiency. However, while some ofUttarakhand’s leading industrial companies have made major strides in improving energy efficiency(EE), there have been limited efforts by second-tier industries (SMEs), commercial organizations andmunicipalities due to a number of technical, institutional and financial barriers.

Recent efforts to identify and address these barriers have concluded that there is a need for an EnergyEfficiency Fund that will facilitate the development and growth of an energy efficiency (EE)infrastructure that includes energy service providers such as ESCOs to help energy consumersdevelop and implement cost-effective EE projects.

B. FINANCIAL BARRIERS TO ENERGY EFFICIENCY

The major financial barriers to EE project implementation include the following:

Most organizations in the SME, commercial and municipal market segments have limitedcapital resources

Financial institutions have limited experience in lending to EE projects

Project financing for EE projects is perceived to be highly risky by financial institutions

The development and transaction costs for preparing and financing “investment grade” or“bankable” projects are relatively high.

Most energy service providers such as ESCOs are undercapitalized and have limitedcapability to raise the needed project equity funds.

Many of the customers targeted by ESCOs are considered to be not “creditworthy” fromthe perspective of financial institutions.

C. STATE RESPONSIBILITIES UNDER THE ENERGY CONSERVATION ACT

The EC Act empowers the BEE to “promote innovative financing of energy efficiency projects” and“give financial assistance to institutions for promoting efficient use of energy and its conservation”.The Act also authorizes the States to:

“constitute a fund to be called the State Energy Conservation Fund for the purposes ofpromotion of efficient use of energy and its conservation within the state”

The Uttarakhand Energy Efficiency Fund (the “Fund”) shall be established to assist financing ofqualified energy efficiency projects. The initial capital for the Fund shall be created by nationallegislation as part of the EC Act. This capital shall be expanded with contributions from internationaldonor organizations, international financial institutions (including the International FinanceCorporation), local private and public financial institutions, and other international and domesticinvestors.

AECEP 61

D. RATIONALE AND JUSTIFICATION

The electricity system in Uttarakhand is characterized by insufficient capacity to meet the growingdemand for power, and subsidized tariffs in some sectors that lead to financial deficits for the electricutilities. Under these conditions, energy savings arising form the implementation of energy efficiencymeasures provide significant benefits not only to the consumers who are achieving the savings butalso to the utility, the ratepayers of the utility and society as a whole. Also there are some significantfiscal and macroeconomic benefits to the Government of Uttarakhand that result from the energysavings.

A study of the fiscal and macroeconomic benefits of energy efficiency was analyses for the State ofUttarakhand by Association of Energy Conservation & Environment Protection (AECEP). The preliminaryfindings of this study have pointed out the following types of benefits of energyconservation:

Consumers benefit because the energy efficiency improvement in most consumingsectors typically costs much less than the electricity tariff

Utilities benefit because in some consuming sectors the tariff does not fully cover thecost of service and therefore the electricity saved can lead to reduced monetary lossesand revenue increases if the saved electricity can be sold to higher tariff consumers

Utilities also benefit due to reduced peak loads and deficits and therefore reducedcapital needs for future capacity expansion.

The State benefits by having to generate less capital for capacity expansion.

Since capacity shortages are leading to supply curtailment there are additionalbenefits when the saved electricity can be redirected to the curtailed sectors, therebyincreasing output from these sectors.

Increased output from these sectors can lead to additional revenues from increase insales taxes, electricity duties and other taxes.

Further secondary economic benefits result from the increased economic activity dueto the additional electricity availability.

E. PURPOSE AND BENEFITS

The primary purpose of the Fund will be to stimulate the market implementation of cost-effectiveenergy efficiency projects. Such projects improve the efficiency of energy systems, reducedependence on energy imports, improve economic well being, reduce environmental damage, andincrease productivity.

The Fund will achieve this objective by:

Helping finance specific projects through debt or equity financing or by providingpartial credit guarantees through financial institutions

Contributing to the development of energy efficiency service delivery organizations(such as ESCOs)

Developing and demonstrating model financial transactions

Developing typical financing agreements that can be used by the private sector Involving local financial institutions in the transactions to build their knowledge,

interest and capability for financing EE projects

AECEP 62

F. INITIAL FUNDING SOURCES

There are many possible mechanisms to develop the initial funding for this Fund, including, forexample:

Levy on energy sales

Special tariffs or taxes

General tax revenues

Fees from certification

Donor funds

Funds from public and private financial institutions

These funds can be later augmented form other sources including venture capital funds, private equitycapital, etc.

G. USE OF FUNDS

While some of the resources of the Fund may be used as grants to facilitate the financing of municipalor other government EE projects, it is anticipated that a majority of the fund will be set up as a:revolving fund” to provide loans, equity financing and/or loan guarantees to EE projects or to EEservice delivery organizations.

Examples of financing mechanisms to be employed include:

Grants

Loans

Subsidies

Loan guarantees

Credit guarantees

Competitive bidding

Cooperative advertising and promotion of EC products

H. FUND MANAGEMENT AND ADMINISTRATION

Many options are available for the management and administration of the Fund, includingUREDA itself, a non-governmental organization (NGO), or a professional financial manager.For most efficient functioning of the Fund, the Fund shall be established as an independentorganization managed by a professional fund manager. The Fund will be designed to offer a rangeof financial mechanisms to facilitate the implementation of energy efficiency projects, and the grantportion of the Fund may be separated form the “revolving” portion which can be designed to earna reasonable return to the Fund investors.

The Fund manager will operate under the direction and supervision of a Board of Directors, whosecomposition will be determined when the Fund is established. The Board may include representativesof:

AECEP 63

The Ministry of Energy, GoU

UREDA

Other relevant GoU Ministries

Donor agencies contributing to the Fund

Other investors in the Fund

Financial institutions

Large energy user associations (such as CII or FICCI)

NGOs or professional associations involved in EE

Energy services industry

The Board shall select the professional Fund Manager. The Fund manager shall be an organization orindividual with substantial relevant experience in managing large funds and in project financing ofenergy or related projects. The Fund Manager shall be selected through competitive bidding. Thecompensation of the fund Manager will be performance based.

I. QUALIFICATIONS FOR PROJECT FINANCING

The Fund Manager will establish and publish the minimum qualifications for projects to receivevarious types of financial assistance from the Fund.

Examples of qualification criteria for projects receiving financial assistance may include:

Technically feasible.

Cost-effective from a societal perspective

Environmentally beneficial.

Financially sound

Having acceptable level of risk

Replicable

Contributing to the development of sustainable EE markets

Supported by an energy audit, or a detailed project report (DPR), prepared by anaccredited energy auditor.

Generally, these are projects where the expected economic benefits are greater than the costs of theproject. That is, the potential projects should be those where the total cost savings from reduction inenergy usage are greater than the costs of implementing the energy efficient measure(s).
