India’s energy intensity is expected to improve by 2.5 percent in 2024, while the global energy intensity is expected to improve by around one percent, stated Minister of State in the Ministry of Power Shripad Naik in the Rajya Sabha.
Energy intensity has been measured in terms of Mega Joule/USD at 2015 Purchasing Power Parity in the above estimations.
Naik further asserted that the performance of the country with regard to energy conservation is one of the best when compared to other countries of the world.
As per the estimates of International Energy Agency, the improvement of global energy intensity during the period from 2010-19 was 2 percent whereas same for India was 2.5 percent. During the period from 2021-24, the global energy intensity improved by 1.3 percent whereas, India’s energy intensity improved by 1.6 percent.
The major energy conservation programmes being implemented by the Indian government include Perform, Achieve and Trade for industries, Standards and Labelling scheme for appliances, Unnat Jyoti by Affordable LEDs for All (UJALA) scheme, Energy Conservation Building Code and adoption of electric mobility.
As per the report of Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE), a statutory body under the Ministry of Power, the implementation of various energy efficiency schemes/programmes have led to an overall energy savings of 53.60 Million tonnes of Oil equivalent (MTOE) which is about 5.89 percent of the total primary energy supply of the country for the year 2023-24.
