Executive Summary:
This notification amends a previous order regarding designated consumers under the Energy Conservation Act of 2001. It specifies energy-intensive industries and establishments, focusing on revised energy consumption thresholds for zonal railways, petroleum refineries, and electricity distribution companies. The amendment aims to refine the list of designated consumers based on energy consumption and industry capacity. It was issued on December 29, 2015.
Key Points / Main Content:
Amendments to Designated Consumers:
The order modifies the list of designated consumers under the Energy Conservation Act.
Railways:
Revises the criteria for zonal railways, specifying that all zonal railways with annual traction energy consumption of 70,000 metric tonnes of oil equivalent (MTOE) per year and above are designated consumers.
Clause b relating to Railways is omitted.
Petroleum Refineries:
Adds petroleum refinery units with energy consumption of 90,000 MTOE per year or above as designated consumers.
Electricity Distribution Companies:
Includes electricity distribution companies with energy consumption of 86,000 MTOE per year or above as designated consumers.
Energy consumption for electricity distribution companies is determined by Aggregate Technical and Commercial (ATC) losses, using the conversion table under Note 1.
Impact Analysis:
Zonal Railways:
Impact: Zonal railways with traction annual energy consumption of 70,000 MTOE or above will be classified as designated consumers.
Action Required: Ensure traction annual energy consumption is below 70,000 MTOE to avoid being listed as designated consumers.
Petroleum Refineries:
Impact: Petroleum refinery units consuming 90,000 MTOE or above annually will be classified as designated consumers.
Action Required: Monitor and manage energy consumption to remain below the 90,000 MTOE threshold.
Electricity Distribution Companies:
Impact: Electricity distribution companies consuming 86,000 MTOE or above annually will be classified as designated consumers.
Action Required: Calculate energy consumption based on Aggregate Technical and Commercial (ATC) losses.
