State Energy
Efficiency Index 2019
Why in news
The government has released the ‘State Energy
Efficiency Index 2019’. The Index tracks the progress of
Energy Efficiency (EE) initiatives in states and union
territories based on 97 significant indicators.
¾ Assessment is based on their efforts and achievements
in policy and regulation, financing mechanisms,
institutional capacity, adoption of energy efficiency
measures and energy savings achieved.
¾ The index incorporates qualitative, quantitative
and outcome-based indicators to assess energy
efficiency initiatives, programs and outcomes in five
distinct sectors – buildings, industry, municipalities,
transport, agriculture and DISCOMs.
About Index
¾ The first “State Energy Efficiency Preparedness Index
2018”, was launched on August 1, 2018.
¾ The index is developed by the Bureau of Energy
Efficiency (BEE) in association with Alliance for an
Energy-Efficient Economy (AEEE).
¾ The 2019 index has included new indicators like the
adoption of Energy Conservation Building Code
(ECBC) 2017, energy efficiency in MSME clusters, etc
Data collection: The required data were collected
from the concerned state departments such as
DISCOMs, Urban Development departments and
other departments with the help of State Designated
Agencies (SDAs).
Key Points
¾ Comparison: For rational comparison, States/UTs are
grouped into four groups based on aggregated Total
Primary Energy Supply (TPES) required to meet the
state’s actual energy demand (electricity, coal, oil,
gas, etc.) across sectors.
The index categorises states as ‘Front Runner’,
‘Achiever’, ‘Contender’ and ‘Aspirant’ based on
their efforts and achievements towards energy
efficiency implementation.
z The top-performing states for 2019 Haryana,
Kerala and Karnataka are in the ‘Achiever’
category.
z Manipur, Jammu & Kashmir, Jharkhand and
Rajasthan performed the worst in the Aspirant
groups.
Since there isn’t a state in the ‘Front runner’
category, it can be inferred that a lot more can
be done at the state level to realise energy savings
from energy efficiency.
TPES grouping helps states compare their
performance and share best practices within their
peer group.
¾ The index will help states contribute towards national
goals on energy security and climate action by helping
drive EE policies and program implementation at the
state and local level.
¾ It will track progress in managing the states’ and India’s
energy footprint and institutionalising the data capture
and monitoring of EE activities by states.

Bureau of Energy Efficiency
¾ The BEE is a statutory body under the Ministry of
Power, Government of India.
¾ It assists in developing policies and strategies
with the primary objective of reducing the energy
intensity of the Indian economy.
¾ BEE coordinates with designated consumers,
designated agencies, and other organizations
to identify and utilize the existing resources and
infrastructure, in performing the functions assigned
to it under the Energy Conservation Act, 2001.
