Programme (SEEP) was the ceiling fan. The current technology is
reaching limits of efficiency and alternative technological platforms
are being explored. Efficiency in fans can be increased by using energy-
efficient motors or brushless direct current motors. BEE has completed
consultations with major fan manufactures, R&D bodies, technology
developers, and policy institutions and is in the process of finalizing
specification, incentive structure and a measurement and verification
(M&V) strategy. Manufacturers who produce and sell SEEP fans with
set specifications/standards will be paid an incentive. Around 26.86
million SEA fans are expected to be sold during the Twelfth plan period
which will result in savings of 2.2 billion units in 2016–17. SEEP would
be extended to LED tube lights and LED bulbs as well at a later stage.
To accelerate the shift to super-efficient appliances in different
sectors and to encourage innovation among manufacturers in India,
BEE launched the Market Transformation for Energy Efficiency
(MTEE) initiatives under NMEEE. The MTEE initiative encourages the
development of new products that are super-efficient and promotes
their market introduction. This has to be complemented by R&D in the
early stages and loans and rebates and targeted outreach to purchasers
who would buy in bulk (example, power utility companies who are
interested in DSM measures) so that market penetration of the super-
efficient products can be increased. Consumer education about such
products is also essential in expanding the market share. Mandatory
performance standards could be introduced at a later stage to complete
the market transformation.
Manufacturers are often reluctant to make the initial investment
to change production lines for super-efficient appliances because of
high upfront cost, coupled with uncertainty about market demand.
The MTEE initiative offers manufacturers incentives to produce super-
efficient appliances that are 30–50 per cent more efficient than the most
efficient appliance available in the market.
Other programmes under NMEEE are Perform Achieve Trade
(PAT), which is a market mechanism to bring efficient energy use
in Industries, Energy Efficiency Financing Platform (EEFP), and
Framework for Energy Efficiency Economic Development (FEEED).
Under PAT, resources are being mobilized by the National Clean Energy
Fund whereby a 3 per cent interest subsidy is given on procurement
of energy efficient technologies by designated consumers in seven
sectors. This needs investment into newer technologies, renovation,
and modernization.
Other DSM strategies include technical capacity building of
