Energy Conservation Services And Consultants

Majorly we serve our services to cities like Ahmednagar, Pune, Mumbai, Aurangabad. Power shortage hampers the economic growth of any State. Energy Conservation is the cheapest, easiest and cleanest way for bridging the gap between demand and supply. It is estimated that energy conservation projects require only one fifth of investment compared to the investment required for installation of new power projects.

Studies have indicated the following potential for energy conservation in various sectors in the State.

Sr.No.	Sector	Conservation Potential (%)
1.	Industrial Sector	Up to 25
2.	Agriculture Sector	Up to 30
3.	Domestic Sector	Up to 20
4.	Commercial Sector	Upto 30

‘MEDA’ is a Government of Maharashtra Institution established in 1985. MEDA is working as ‘State Nodal Agency‘ for promotion of renewable energy sources and as ‘State Designated Agency‘ for implementation of Energy Conservation Act, 2001 in the State of Maharashtra.

The main objectives of MEDA is:

• To promote and develop, Non-conventional , Renewable and Alternate Energy Sources and Technologies.
• To implement Energy Conservation Act. 2001, and related schemes in the State.

In order to tap the potential for energy conservation, MEDA holds that energy audit is the first step towards identification of potential areas for energy conservation. Since MEDA’s inception, MEDA has been promoting this activity and nearly 527 organisations have taken part in this program. The main objective of this program is to provide financial assistance to eligible organisations for carrying out detailed energy audit at their facilities through empanelled consultants of MEDA. The purpose is to create awareness about energy audit.

The following sectors will be covered under this program:

• Industries
• Commercial Buildings
• Government / Semi Government undertaking / Local Self Government Buildings
• Residential Complexes
• Municipal Street Lights / Public Water Supply Schemes.

• The unit / Facility willing to do detailed energy audit should be situated in Maharashtra State.
• The Unit / Facility should be regular payer of electricity bill.
• Energy Audit should be carried out by only through MEDA’s empanelled consultant.
• In case of Government / Semi Government / /Government undertaking / Local Self Government buildings, the supporting documents to clarify the status will be necessary.
• If the unit / facility is already availing financial assistance from any Government organisation for carrying out the detailed energy audit study then the unit is not eligible for this assistance.

Following will be the pattern for providing the financial assistance to unit or facility.
