Bachat Lamp Yojana
Initiated by

Introduction to BEE
Energy Conservation Act, 2001, overcomes some
market barriers by enabling:

Setting of minimum energy standards for, and

affixing energy-consumption labels on
appliances and equipment
Promulgation of Energy Conservation Building
Codes
Energy use monitoring, verification and
reporting by large energy users, and the
establishment of energy consumption norms for
these consumers

Introduction to BEE
BEE and SDAs set up to promote:
Demand-side management by distribution
companies
Enhancing energy conservation in existing
buildings, especially through Energy Service
Companies (ESCOs)
Outreach and awareness programmes

National Mission for Enhanced Energy Efficiency- 4

New Initiatives
A market based mechanism to enhance cost
effec-tiveness of improvements in energy
efficiency in energy-intensive large industries and
facilities, through certification of energy savings
that could be traded. (Perform Achieve and Trade)
Accelerating the shift to energy efficient appliances
in designated sectors through innovative measures
to make the products more affordable. (Market
Transformation for Energy Efficiency))

National Mission for Enhanced Energy Efficiency- 4

New Initiatives
Creation of mechanisms that would help finance
demand side management programmes in all
sectors by capturing future energy savings. (Energy
Efficiency Financing Platform (EEFP))

Developing fiscal instruments to promote energy

efficiency namely Framework for Energy Efficient
Economic Development (FEEED)

Standards & Labeling Scheme targets high energy

end use equipment and appliances to lay down
minimum energy performance standards.
Energy Conservation Building Code (ECBC) sets
minimum energy performance standards for new
commercial buildings.

Operationalising EC Act by Strengthening
Institutional Capacity of State Designated Agencies
(SDAs) : The scheme seeks to build institutional
capacity of the newly created SDAs to perform their
regulatory, enforcement and facilitative functions
in the respective States.
Energy Efficiency Improvement in Small and
Medium Enterprises (SMEs): To stimulate energy
efficiency measures in 25 high energy consuming
small and medium enterprise clusters.

Bachat Lamp Yojana

Replace inefficient incandescent bulbs with CFLs for

households only
Reduce price of CFL to that of incandescent bulbproject developer (CFL Manufacturer/ DISCOM)
provides initial investment
Use CDM to recover balance cost
Monitor energy consumption reduction in a project
area as outlined in AMS-II.J of CDM-EB
CERs generated after monitoring, validation and
oversight of CDM Executive Board (CDM-EB) sold in
international markets
Potential reduction in power consumption~6,000 10,000 MW XI plan target 4000 MW

BLY Uses pCDM Approach

The programme itself does

not achieve the reductions,

but provides the framework
for emission reductions to
occur through certified project
activities

Benefits of BLY
Uses CDM Programme of Activities approach to

Lower transaction costs

Reduce time
Capture an activity otherwise difficult /
expensive under CDM
Reduce risk to investors

Simple monitoring without compromising CFL
