State Designated Agencies (SDAs)

Under the framework of Energy Conservation (EC) Act, a two-tier structure has been established for undertaking energy efficiency activities with Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) at the Centre and State Designated Agencies (SDAs) as nodal agencies at the State level. In exercise of the powers conferred by section 15(d) of EC Act 2001, all the State Governments have designated an agency as State Designated Agency (SDA) to coordinate, regulate and enforce the provisions of this Act within the State, either by assigning additional responsibilities to one of the existing departments of the State Government or by establishing a dedicated Stand-Alone SDA for energy efficiency.

At present, there are total 36 SDAs in the country, out of which, 16 are Renewable Energy Development Agencies, 5 are State Government Power Departments, 7 are Electrical Inspectorates, 6 are Electricity Distribution Companies and 2 are Stand-Alone SDAs.

In order to build and strengthen the institutional, technical and financial capacities and capabilities of the SDAs for undertaking energy efficiency activities at the State level, the Ministry of Power approved the scheme on “Strengthening of SDAs to promote efficient use of energy and its conservation” during the XI plan, which was continued during the XII plan and has also been ratified for the period 2017-20. Since its inception during the XI plan, BEE has been providing financial assistance to the SDAs under this scheme, which comprises of two components namely:

Providing financial assistance to the State Designated Agencies to coordinate, regulate and enforce efficient use of energy and its conservation at the State level
- State Partnership for Energy Efficiency Demonstrations (SPEED)
  - Demonstration Project
  - Implementation of energy efficiency activities in Government schools
- Model Energy Efficient Village Campaign
- Institutionalization of Enforcement machinery at state level
- State Energy Efficiency Research & Outreach Programme
- Manpower support to SDAs
- Workshops / Capacity Building of energy professionals
- Analysis and survey of the impact of energy conservation activities by SDAs
Contribution to State Energy Conservation Fund (SECF)
