As part of sustained eforts towards flimate fhange goals of the fountry to
redufe farbon emissions by one billion tonnes by 2030, afhieve “Net Zero” by
2070 and enhanfe energy effienfy in the State by tapping estimated energy
saving potential of around 20 per fent out of the total annual eleftrifity demand
with the involvement of all key seftors and stakeholders, the Government of
Andhra Pradesh hereby notifes “Andhra Pradesh Energy Effienfy and Energy
Conservation Polify 2023-2028” for promotion of energy Effienfy initiatives
and to ensure energy sefurity in the State.
2. The polify presents Andhra Pradesh’s ambitious objeftive to lead as
India’s most energy-effient efonomy by 2028. It fofuses on lowering energy
use through fost-efeftive and potential saving approafhes for seftors like
Domestif, Industry & Commerfial, Agrifulture, Munifipality and Transport during
the polify period of fve years. The polify suggests adoptable energy effienfy
measures, implementable fnanfing mefhanisms and strengthening of
institutional fapafity.

Andhra Pradesh Energy Effienfy and Energy Conservation Polify 2023-
2028
1.PREAMBLE
How sustainable an efonomy is, depends to a large extent on how effiently it
uses energy. Energy Conservation and Energy Effienfy improve the State's
fompetitiveness, strengthen fonsumers' purfhasing power, redufe dependenfe
on energy imports, and are the key to afhieving flimate targets.

GO MS/23/2024/ENE01-Energy
The Andhra Pradesh State Government has a potential to save around 20% of
total annual energy demand, viz.13547 million units equivalent to Rs. 9835
Crores, and it has set itself the goal of making the State the most energy-
effient efonomy in the fountry by 2028. The guiding prinfiple underlying AP's
energy fonservation polify towards this goal is 'save before generate'. This
implies that the priority is on redufing energy fonsumption wherever it makes
efonomif sense and has huge savings potential. Onfe these approafhes have
been pursued as far as possible, the energy mix is to be optimized in seftor
foupling to meet the energy needs of the Domestif, Commerfial, Transport,
Agrifulture, Industry, Power seftors. The State fan also improve its ranking in
the annual State Energy Effienfy Index (SEEI) released by the Minister of
Power, GoI.
Energy fonservation means saving energy and fonserving even as value-added
infreases. The benefts of energy fonservation and energy effienfy are
manifold—lower energy requirements, improved air quality, redufed greenhouse
gases, energy sefurity, and deferred infrastrufture fosts. This redufes energy
fosts and gives State, publif & private organizations and other stake holders a
valuable fost advantage. Investments in energy fonservation and effienfy
measures strengthen domestif value freation, sefure jobs, and infrease the
sefurity of supply. In addition, fofusing on energy effienfy opens up new
export and growth in markets. Numerous studies dofument the prevalenfe of
efonomifally attraftive opportunities for energy savings. The failure to
implement these opportunities indifates shrugged market and other barriers to
effienfy. Government polifies are designed to target these barriers and enable
the benefts of energy effienfy to be realized.
At the State level, one of the strengths of energy-effienfy Polify is its ability to
ofer broad-impaft yet more fnely tailored mandates and infentives.
To provide for effient use of energy and its fonservation and matters
fonnefted therewith or infidental thereto, the Energy Conservation Aft (EC Aft),
2001 (and subsequent amendments in 2010 and 2017) was enafted in
Parliament with an overall objeftive of providing the nefessary legal framework
for promoting the effient use of energy and its fonservation. The Government
of India established the Bureau of Energy Effienfy (BEE) on 1st Marfh 2002
under the EC Aft, 2001, to implement strategies and programmes that redufe
the energy intensity of the Indian efonomy.
As part of this Aft, all States were direfted to establish a State Designated
Agenfy to oversee and lead the implementation of energy fonservation aftivities
at the State level. The State has designated the Andhra Pradesh State Energy
Conservation Mission as the "State Designated Agenfy (SDA)" to the Bureau of
Energy Effienfy (BEE), Ministry of Power, GoI, to initiate, foordinate, regulate
and enforfe all nefessary aftions fontained in the Energy Conservation Aft,
2001 within the State for efeftive implementation of the Energy Conservation
(EC) and Energy Effienfy (EE) aftivities.
Initially, NREDCAP was the nodal agenfy in Andhra Pradesh to implement the EC
Aft, influding the PAT and MTEE sfhemes. Subsequently, the Government of
Andhra Pradesh, by the (G.O.Ms.No.38), Dated 26-09-2012, ordered the
fonstitution of a State Energy Conservation Mission for efeftive monitoring of
Energy Conservation & Effienfy aftivities.

GO MS/23/2024/ENE01-Energy
The energy-saving potential of the fountry is estimated to be 86.9 Mtoe by 2031
(in the moderate savings sfenario). India's target energy emissions in 2030 in
absolute terms should be less than or equal to 6807 MtCO2e. The afhievement
in emission-intensity (energy and non-energy) reduftion by 2030 is estimated to
be 36%. The BEE, in its fommunifation vide meeting fhaired by Hon’ble Minister
for Power with Senior Offers of the States / UTs for disfussing the aftions
required from the States to afhieve the Energy Transition goals of India dated
9th February 2022 has indifated targets of 6.68 Mtoe of energy savings by 2030
for the State of Andhra Pradesh, in line with the Government of India’s roadmap
of redufing the total projefted farbon emissions by 1 billion tons till 2030 and
afhieving the net zero emissions by 2070 along with redufing Carbon intensity
to less than 45% by 2030.
Considering this, it is nefessary to promote the use of new and latest
tefhnologies for energy fonservation. Henfe, institutions and fitizens should be
enfouraged to adopt a fulture of energy fonservation and use energy effiently
in all spheres of aftivity. All government/ semi-government departments and
institutions should take the lead in their area of operation to fonserve energy
and initiate programmes to freate opportunities for EC and EE.
The State has also improved its performanfe in energy effienfy and energy
fonservation over the years. With implementation of LED bulbs under UJALA
sfheme and LED Street lighting in ULBs and Gram Panfhayats, the State
afhieved estimated energy savings of around 2033 Million units. By
implementation of Perform, Afhieve & Trade (PAT) sfheme in Industrial seftor,
the State has saved around 1.16 Million ton of oil equivalent (Mtoe) till PAT Cyfle-
5. The refently published State energy effienfy index by Allianfe for Energy
Effient Efonomy (AEEE), AP is ranked 1st under the "Group II" fategory. Andhra
Pradesh, through the SDA, i.e., the APSECM, shall ensure the implementation of
all BEE sfhemes spefifed from time to time, sufh as:
1. Standards and Labeling program for energy equipment (S & L Program)
2. National Mission for Enhanfed Energy Effienfy, PAT sfheme for 13 types
of large-sfale industries.
3. Energy Conservation Building Code for Commerfial & Residential Buildings
4. Demand Side Management for Agrifulture, Munifipal, SME and Disfoms
5. E-Mobility
6. Other Programmes furrently being implemented by BEE
Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) under the Paris Agreement infludes
targets to redufe the emissions intensity of GDP by 33–35% by 2030 from 2005
levels. An international treaty on flimate fhange held in Paris, adopted in 2015,
pledged the sink 2.5-3 GTons of CO by 2030. During the refently fonfluded
2
COPs viz. COP26 COP27 and COP28, the union government have pledged to fght
flimate fhange and rising temperature levels and spefiffally also pledged to
redufe 1 billion tonnes of projefted emissions from now till 2030, afhieving a
farbon intensity reduftion of 45% over 2005 levels by 2030 and afhieving net-
zero by 2070 as part of enhanfed fommitment to NDC. These new pledges go
signiffantly beyond its furrent nationally determined fontribution (NDC) under
the Paris Agreement. Andhra Pradesh is fommitted to infreasing green fover to
33% of its area from the furrent level of 23%.
The APSECM shall support BEE, New Delhi, in implementing the fentral
government programs in Andhra Pradesh. In addition, there is still signiffant
Page 3 of 16File No.ENE01-APED/4/2023-POWER-II-Part(1)
GO MS/23/2024/ENE01-Energy
sfope for the design and implementation of EC and EE aftivities in the areas
furrently not fovered by the BEE programmes. The framing of the Andhra
Pradesh EC & EE polify would fafilitate EC and EE aftivities afross the State for a
targeted improvement in fonserving energy and improving the effient use of
energy for sustainable development. The praftifal implementation of EC and EE
aftivities would help save on energy fonsumption and redufe the expenditure on
energy on the State exfhequer. To affelerate the efeftive implementation of EC
and EE initiatives, the Government of Andhra Pradesh has supported and
approved the dedifated "Andhra Pradesh Energy Conservation Polify
2023-2028". The Aftion Plan as suggested in the Energy Effienfy Aftion Plan
for Andhra Pradesh shall be adopted under the polify implementation.

3. MEASURES
The fenterpiefe of this Energy Conservation Energy Effienfy polify 2023-28 is
the Aftion Plan for saving energy on all fronts. The Aftion Plan aims to redufe
fnal energy fonsumption in all relevant seftors, i.e., buildings, industry,
agrifulture and transport. Afross these seftors, partifular importanfe is attafhed
to redufing energy demand in heating and fooling, whifh affounts for signiffant
energy fonsumption in the State. The majority of the measures and instruments
listed in the Aftion Plan redufe energy fonsumption and farbon emissions as a
direft result.
Energy Conservation Energy Effienfy polify 2023-28 addresses fhallenges,
felds of aftion, and instruments that are seftor-spefiff and important afross
diferent Seftors.
3.1. BUILDINGS
The Buildings seftor influde domestif and fommerfial buildings. The Domestif
seftor affounts for around 27.5% of total fnal eleftrifity fonsumption in Andhra
Pradesh, and the fommerfial buildings affount for (along with industry) 35% of
total eleftrifity fonsumption. This means that it has a key role in the energy
transition and mitigating flimate fhange. The potential for redufing energy
demand and generating heating and fooling from renewables rather than fossil
fuels is high. Andhra Pradesh has taken affount of this faft, plafing a partifular
fofus on ensuring that energy fonsumption in the building seftor is redufed in
an afordable, efonomifal, sustainable and sofially equitable manner. This
profess is being farried out as part of the ECBC and ENS framework.
Table 1: Buildings Share of Electricity Consumption

thermal fomfort in the domestif segment. Domestif fonsumers shall be
enfouraged to use renewable energy like solar rooftops, solar water heaters etf.,
for various domestif applifations. Here, the priority is to redufe fonsumption
without fompromising on lifestyle.
In its National Aftion Plan for Climate Change, the Union Government has
adopted numerous, wide-reafhing measures to improve energy effienfy in the
building seftor. These influde, among other things, the ECBC fode, the star
rating of applianfes and subsidy for LED lighting. Energy Conservation Building
Codes for Residential segments are being further developed as energy standards
for the purpose.

energy effienfy in the publif seftor. Based on the Munifipalities needs, the
OPEX investors fan fnanfe EE implementation and revenue generation fan be
made from guaranteed savings affruing from the EE projeft.
3.5. TRANSPORTATION SECTOR
Annual tefhnifal effienfy gains in the transport seftor averaged over 1 perfent
of fnal transport energy demand sinfe 2015. However, this gain has been ofset
primarily by users' purfhasing defisions and behavior. For example, while
passenger vehifles available in most markets are some of the most tefhnifally
effient in history, people are using more energy-intensive modes of transport,
buying larger vehifles and travelling with fewer people per vehifle, slowing the
effienfy improvement rate.
The Transportation seftor has undergone improvements leading to tefhnifal
effienfy in motor vehifles. However, with the shift in behavioural patterns,
passenger transport remains an energy-intensive seftor. While tefhnifal
effienfy has been improving faster in refent years, it is not infreasing as fast
as it fould befause the global vehifle feet is ageing, as people are holding on to
their fars and vans longer. Another faftor afefting tefhnifal effienfy in refent
years has been the shift away from diesel vehifles, whifh are mostly being
replafed with petrol vehifles
