Increasing Investment in Energy Efficiency in India

Indian energy efficiency market evolved rapidly over the last 5 years due to government
initiatives and investment from large players (domestic and global). Few cases are as
below:

New entry - Indian EE business

In 2009, Schneider Electric, acquired

Bangalore-based Conzerv Systems, an
INR 700 million company providing energy
efficiency solutions in the Indian market.
No transaction details were disclosed. [1]

EE business volume in India

In December 2009, the global energy

services major Dalkia acquires Indian
premier energy services company, DSCL
ESCO for an undisclosed amount. [2]

Indian IT giant Wipro invested in energy

efficiency and clean tech market by starting
Wipro Eco-energy.

OpportunitiesEnergy Performance Contracting (EPC)

Avenues of energy efficiency

Market potential in India

Energy performance contracting is an financing

technique offered by ESCOs that uses cost savings
from reduced energy consumption to repay the cost
of installation of energy conservation measures
Another model practiced under EPC is Energy
Performance Guarantee. Under this scheme, the
ESCOs guarantee the energy savings that may be
achieved by implementing energy efficiency
measures
Both models are marketed in India with second
model mostly practiced by OEMs

As policy and demand converge, considerable growth potential for energy

efficiency and the ESCO market
The industrial sector , which includes small, medium and large industrial
enterprises offers a good opportunity to save 49 Billion kWh of energy
per year, with an investment potential of 3 Billion USD.*
Increasing price of fuel, inclusion of 477 energy intensive large scale
industries across sectors within first PAT cycle (2012- 2015), global
competition created by open market policy, large scale programs
introduced by Global Environmental Facility (GEF) for promoting energy
efficiency in MSMEs would drive increased implementation of energy
efficiency in industrial segment

Major players in India

Opportunities

Siemens
MITCON Consultancy Services Ltd
Thermax India Ltd
Johnson Controls (India) Pvt. Ltd.
Honeywell Automation India Ltd
Transparent Energy Systems Pvt. Ltd.
Feedback Infrastructure Ltd.

The policy environment of the country is aligning itself towards a host of

energy efficiency initiatives
Installing cogeneration and captive power plants could spur demand in the
industry
Competition in the ESCO industry remains low because of the high
growth trajectory coupled with the small number of firms
Knowledge and experience in efficiency technologies and their
implementation pose the biggest barriers because of the technical risks
that ESCOs assume
Swiss challenge may be explored by new entrant in this segment

is of the order of INR 100 Billion and INR 20 Billion per year respectively*
Projected market potential for energy efficiency in India reported by different
organizations like BEE, USAID, WRI, GIZ indicate encouraging growth trend
for energy efficiency
Energy audits in several sectors indicates energy saving potential of 23%46% in end uses such as lighting, cooling, ventilation, refrigeration etc

Major players in India

Opportunities

Honeywell
Emerson Climate Technologies
KLG Systel
HCL
TCS

Accelerating economic development has prompted Indias energy demand to

double by 2030 due to which there is a critical need for energy efficiency
The opportunities available in the mid cap segment may be initially explored
by Australian firms because it is fast growing and has limited in-house core
competence in energy efficiency
Attractive opportunity for Australian companies to participate in statesupported initiatives in India (in programs funded by the Indian Government
or international funding agencies like UNDP, GEFA, DIFID, JICA, GIZ etc)

Implementation of smart grids projects in India is currently at pilot phase to

evaluate best possible frameworks and business models
Though Indian utility companies understand the benefit of smart grid, the
poor financial strength of the DISCOMs and other socio economical
conditions posts challenges in the implementation of smart grid in India
This market segment may be driven in near future through Government
initiatives; hence Interested partners for Smart Grid may join India Smart
Grid Forum to remain updated about future plans and policy initiatives
