Mission Overview
The National Mission for Enhanced Energy Efficiency (NMEEE) aims to strengthen the energy-efficiency market through innovative business models. It promotes improvements in energy-intensive industries through market-based mechanisms, facilitates the adoption of energy-efficient appliances, supports the financing of energy-efficiency projects and develops fiscal instruments to promote energy efficiency. NMEEE is implemented through four initiatives: the Perform, Achieve and Trade (PAT) Scheme, Market Transformation for Energy Efficiency (MTEE), Energy Efficiency Financing Platform (EEFP), and Framework for Energy Efficient Economic Development (FEEED).
- Launched in June 2010.
- Nodal Ministry: Ministry of Power · Implementing Agency: Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE).
- The flagship market-based mechanism, Perform, Achieve and Trade (PAT), aims to reduce Specific Energy Consumption (SEC) in energy-intensive sectors through targets for Designated Consumers and tradable Energy Saving Certificates (ESCerts).
- Transition to the Carbon Credit Trading Scheme (CCTS): Relevant sectors and entities under PAT are gradually transitioning to the CCTS compliance mechanism, where targets are based on greenhouse gas emission intensity and eligible entities can earn Carbon Credit Certificates (CCCs).
- Sectors identified for gradual transition from PAT to CCTS include Aluminium, Chlor-Alkali, Cement, Fertiliser, Iron and Steel, Pulp and Paper, Petrochemicals, Petroleum Refinery and Textile. Additional sectors may be included in the future.
- Climate action: NMEEE supports energy-efficiency improvements and greenhouse gas emission reductions, contributing to India’s climate-change mitigation efforts.
- NMEEE aligns with the Paris Agreement and supports SDG 7—Affordable and Clean Energy—and SDG 13—Climate Action.
Vision
To embed industrial energy efficiency at the heart of India's low-carbon transition, anchoring the country's NDC mitigation pathway through market-based instruments and deep sectoral decarbonisation.
