PAT Scheme of Bureau of Energy Efficiency.
Bureau of Energy Efficiency has been the nodal agency spearheading the Energy efficiency program in India for quite some time now. They have launched many programs which have benefitted many industries and at the same time resulted in handsome savings in the energy for the country.
PAT is part of the BEE-initiated National Mission on Enhanced Energy Efficiency, which intends to enhance energy efficiency in the country, and is aimed at large energy-intensive industries and facilities.
Under the PAT scheme, almost 714 industrial units across the country in nine sectors — cement, thermal power plants, fertilizers, aluminum, iron and steel, chlor-alkali, pulp and paper, textiles and railways — will be given targets for reducing energy consumption. The companies that better their targets will be allowed to sell energy-saving credits ECERTs to those failing to achieve the required cuts.
These nine sectors cover 65 per cent electricity’s industrial consumption in the country. The energy efficiency certificates so devised can be traded on power exchanges and the India Energy Exchange. This is a unique program where involvement of ESCO, Energy Managers and Energy Auditors would be required to the great extent. BEE has been certifying Energy Auditors for quite some time and a decent capability has been developed in this area.
But these Energy Auditors are required to be accredited to be able to perform Energy Auditing duties. This process may need some simplification in order to achieve BEE’s objective.

Hola! I just surfed to this web site today while searching for a few different health terms in google. Seeing that I ended up here I thought why not stay and read some of your articles… insightful stuff. I will make sure that I get around once again some time in the next month or two.
I don’t ordinarily comment but I gotta state thanks for the post on this amazing one : D.

good handy materils on PAT
The PAT scheme will go a long way in energy efficiency in industries. It is a noted fact that unless something is measured and rewarded, that cannot be achieved.By selling credits, the energy efficiency industries will get revenue. Thus, such scheme will drive investments in energy efficient equipments.
[...] we are progressing, it would take lots of time in realizing the full potential. BEE has notified PAT scheme and ESCerts option but still there is lot which is required to be done before Energy Efficiency [...]
