Clause (k) of section 14 of the Energy Conservation Act, 2001 (52 of 2001), provides that the Central Government in consultation with the Bureau of Energy Efficiency, may direct that any designated consumer shall furnish to the Designated Agency, in such form and manner and within such period, as may be prescribed, the information with regard to the energy consumed and action taken on the recommendations of the accredited energy auditors. Further clause (l) of the same section of the said Act provides that the every designated consumer shall submit to the designated agency, a report in the form and manner as may be prescribed, on the status of the energy consumption at end of every financial year. The rules for submission of such information and annual report to the designated agencies and the Bureau of Energy Efficiency are under preparation. The following forms have been developed as part of such rules and are open for improvement to make it more comprehensive and complete with the purpose of achieving the objective of the Act.

Form 1:	Format for information regarding Total Energy Consumption and Energy Consumption per Unit of Production.
Form 2:	Format for reporting status of implementation of energy conservation measures based on business plan of the company.
Form 3:	Executive Summary of appraised Energy Conservation potential as identified in energy auditor report.

The Bureau of Energy Efficiency has started a pilot test concerning the data sought to be submitted by the energy managers to the State Designated Agencies and the Bureau of Energy Efficiency. All energy managers and energy auditors, who have appeared in the last two examinations conducted by BEE are eligible to participate in the competitive test. The aim of the test is to establish a first set of actual reports format, which an energy manager of a designated consumer would submit/ report with respect to implemented energy efficiency and conservation measures in their company.

The forms to be filled out can be downloaded from

Form 1 (word format)

Form 2 (word format)

Form 3 (word format)

For this pilot test it is not necessary to name the company, but only the sector where measures had been implemented. The energy managers and energy auditors may fill up the three forms using the plant data and available reports. While filling out the form, the difficulties encountered and possible solutions may also be outlined.

The test has two more important functions:-

(i) The reporting format will be tested with respect to user friendliness as well as comprehensiveness.

(ii) The data set will be used to explore and push automation of data analysis and summary preparation by computer to a new innovative level.

It is planned to have data of all submitted reports reviewed, analysed and summarized by a custom tailored software programme that will evolve from this pilot test. Reviewing, analyzing and summarizing numerical as well as multiple choice data is a never ending task and this exercise will only be the start. In general, it is possible to check data for plausibility, logical and typographical errors by a computer. A software can as well much better detect inconsistencies in data reporting than a human being. However our understanding is that this work will make progress through active participation of all of you. At the beginning individual data entries will be checked by 1 to 2 functions and within one or two years each data entry may be checked by 5 to 20 functions based on the learning curve of Engineers and Software Specialist involved in this exercise.

Your participation and data will be of great value and IGEN will honour the most complete and best data sets submitted, as well as comments concerning optimization of the reporting format.
