Explanation:
The Ministry of Power (MoP) has announced the release of its ‘State Energy Efficiency Index 2019’ report, which keeps tabs on the progress made by the Indian states and union territories regarding energy efficiency (EE) initiatives.
The report covers energy efficiency initiates in 36 states and union territories (UT) based on 97 indicators. The index was developed by the Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) and the Alliance for an Energy-Efficient Economy (AEEE).
The index is created to help states and UTs contribute towards national goals on energy security and climate action by driving energy efficiency policies and program implementation at a state and local level, according to the MoP. The latest report showed that most initiatives taken by states and UTs were policy or regulation based.
The primary objectives of the state efficiency index:
To help drive energy efficiency policies and program implementation at the state and local level
To highlight good practice and encourage healthy competition among states
To track progress in managing the states’ and India’s energy footprint
Set a baseline for energy efficiency efforts to date and provide a foundation to set state-specific EE targets
Institutionalize data capture and monitoring of EE activities by states especially by state-designated agencies (SDA)
The report categorized states and union territories into four categories, namely, front runner, achiever, contender, and aspirant based on their index scores. Front runners are regions with a score over 60, achievers are states with scores between 50 and 60, contenders, between 30 and 49, while aspirants are regions with a score less than 30 on the index.
According to the latest report, there are no front runner states. The top-performing states -Haryana, Karnataka, and Kerala – fell under the ‘Achiever’ category. Nagpur, Manipur and Jammu and Kashmir scored the lowest and fell under the ‘Aspirants’ category.
The report noted that states scored lower this year because of the lack of data for outcome-based indicators, coupled with the increased weight for these indicators and more stringent scoring criteria and evaluation process.

The sectors that were considered for evaluation were buildings, industries, municipalities, transport, and agriculture and distribution companies (DISCOMs). The index also comprised of 97 qualitative, quantitative, and outcome-based indicators. The outcome-based indicators that were selected were used to signify the adoption of energy, efficiency measures (technology, processes, etc.), energy savings, and reduction in energy intensity.
The report said that the indicators were further mapped in five dimensions – policy and regulation, financing mechanisms, institutional capacity, adoption of energy efficiency measures, and energy savings achieved.
