There are many energy incentive areas in Small Scale Sector, such foundry, forging, steel re-rolling mill, glass & ceramic, bakeries etc. The source of energy for them are coke/coal, petroleum products and electricity. The specific consumption of energy in Small Scale Sector is high. As such there is lot of scope of energy conservation in Small Scale Sector. Objectives of the Scheme: Create awareness & educating SSI units about benefits/advantages of new techniques/technologies for saving energy in different SSI clusters of industries. Undertaking indepth studies of high energy consuming industry clusters in SSI and identify gaps and potential barriers for energy conservation, and promoting adoption of suitable techniques/technologies to achieve energy efficiency. Promoting SSI units adopting Energy audits to improve energy efficiency and fuel substitution, and monitoring the implementation of recommendations. Method/Mode of operation Awareness and Motivational – cum - Educational Programmes on Energy Conservation are organised through the field institutions of SIDO with the help of outside experts. Training programmes are conducted for Engineers/Supervisors/Operators for clusters of Small Scale Industries using DG sets, Furnaces and Boilers using the Resource persons from Petroleum Conservation Research Association (PCRA) and National Productivity Council (NPC). About 220 programmes have conducted so far, benefitting more than 5000 SSI units across the country.
