Executive Summary & Key Takeaways

Executive Summary: This notification, issued by the Ministry of Power, amends a previous notification regarding energy efficiency standards. It modifies the star rating plan for storage-type electric water heaters, updating the validity periods and efficiency requirements. Key changes include revised tables for star rating validity and specifications, effective from September 7, 2016, with updates for periods ending June 30, 2017, and December 31, 2018. Key Points / Main Content: Star Rating Plan Modifications: • Table 3.1 outlines star rating plan validity from September 7, 2016, to June 30, 2017, including rated capacity and standing losses (kWh/24 hour at 45°C). • Table 3.2 details star rating plan validity from July 1, 2017, to December 31, 2018, with corresponding rated capacity and standing losses (kWh/24 hour at 45°C). Display Permissions: • Effective July 1, 2017, permission to display particulars on storage-type electric water heaters up to 100 litres for 1-star and 2-star ratings, as specified in Table 3.2, is no longer permitted. Star Rating Thresholds: • There is no negative tolerance for star rating bands; all tested equipment must meet the minimum threshold for each star rating level. • Manufacturers must account for manufacturing tolerance and other variations when determining the star rating. Review Clause: • The star rating plan will be reviewed after the expiry of the given period in the table or as deemed necessary by the Central Government. Impact Analysis: Manufacturers of Storage-Type Electric Water Heaters Impact: Manufacturers must adhere to the updated star rating plan and ensure their products meet the revised efficiency standards. They are also impacted by the removal of display permissions for lower-rated water heaters. Action Required: Adjust manufacturing processes to meet the new star rating requirements and remove display particulars for 1-star and 2-star rated products up to 100 litres, effective July 1, 2017. Bureau of Energy Efficiency Impact: The Bureau of Energy Efficiency is consulted in the amendment process and plays a role in implementing and overseeing the updated standards. Action Required: Enforce the new regulations and potentially participate in the review of the star rating plan. Central Government Impact: The Central Government is responsible for setting and reviewing energy efficiency standards. Action Required: Oversee the implementation of the amended notification and conduct reviews of the star rating plan as needed. Consumers Impact: Consumers will have access to more energy-efficient storage-type electric water heaters and may see changes in the availability of lower-rated models. Action Required: Be aware of the updated star rating system when purchasing storage-type electric water heaters.
