Aim is to identify Energy Efficient technologies in select MSME clusters
After finding tremendous potential for saving energy in refractories during a pilot project in East Godavari district, the Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) is going to conduct energy audit and technology assessment in spinning mills, cold storages and dal processing units in the State and identify Energy Efficient (EE) technologies in select MSME clusters upon a request by the AP-State Energy Conservation Mission (AP-SECM). According to an official release, a study of 26 refractory units in East Godavari district by The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI) revealed that there is a scope for conserving 10% (8.3 Million Units) of the energy consumed by them per annum amounting to a financial saving of ₹5.56 crore at current tariffs. Their production of refractory material is 62,500 tonnes per year. The pilot project is a part of the BEE’s national programme of mapping the energy - intensive Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), which has been entrusted to TERI.More Related News
