PAT Cycle Consultancy – Driving Energy Efficiency & Compliance
Perform Achieve and Trade (PAT) is an innovative programme of Bureau of Energy Efficiency under the National Mission for Enhanced Energy Efficiency (NMEEE) in National Action Plan on Climate Change (NAPCC). PAT Scheme is aimed at improving the energy efficiency in energy-intensive sectors. PAT is a market-based mechanism to enhance the cost-effectiveness through certification of excess energy saving which can be traded.
The participation in PAT Scheme is mandatory for Designated Consumers under Energy Conservation Act 2010 (ECA). The aluminium, cement, Chor-Alkali, fertilizer, iron and steel, pulp and paper, textile industries and thermal power plants, Railways, DISCOM and Hotels currently coming under Designated Consumers accounts for over 60% of India’s total primary energy consumption. The PAT Scheme has set energy efficiency targets for these energy-intensive consumers. Under the PAT Scheme, the Designated Consumers must reduce their Specific Energy Consumption within a period of three years. Those who fail to achieve the target will have to pay penalty. Consumers exceeding the PAT target SEC value is eligible for Energy Saving Certificates (ESCert) which can be traded and used for compliance purposes.
