Energy Efficiency

Major initiatives of E&E are promotion of energy efficiency in different sectors, market development for renewable energy, and capacity building at various levels to enable and improve access to finance and credit services for renewable energy. E&E also works toward formulation of policies that would lead to an enabling environment for clean and renewable energy market development. Our activities are well supported by our project offices in Andhra Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Karnataka.

WII has been working in this area for the last two decades with a proven track record of managing complex energy efficiency projects. Its cumulative experiences in the energy management arena thus have been significant and impressive. WII's core expertise in energy efficiency lies in detailed energy audits, energy benchmarking studies, technology assessment, preparation of feasibility studies and detailed project reports, technology transfer, demonstration of pilot projects, implementation guidance and support, improving access to financing and capital monitoring and evaluation, training and capacity building, and information dissemination and outreach. This initiative is targeted with an aim to support industry, both large and small & medium enterprises (SMEs) besides commercial buildings, policymakers in the government and various bilateral and multilateral organizations active in this area.

With a mandate to promote clean and renewable energy, the E&E program at WII conducts energy audits and related projects in the industrial, commercial, municipal, and agricultural sectors. The WII team is made of highly experienced, competent, and skilled professionals drawn from electrical, mechanical, and chemical engineering disciplines and capable of carrying out audits in energy-intensive large industries, medium and small industries, commercial and municipal establishments, and the agricultural sector. Supported by the necessary infrastructure and equipment, such as handheld/portable instruments for on-site thermal and electrical energy monitoring, thermal/electrical energy analysis software, and an exhaustive databank, the team is well-equipped to conduct energy audits, and even tailor them to meet specific needs and objectives of an organization.

WII's scope of energy audits includes all major thermal and electrical energy consuming equipment such as boilers, furnaces, dryers, DG sets, air compressors, pumps, blowers/fans, refrigeration and airconditioning, cooling towers, motors, load and demand management, transformers, power factor analysis, harmonic analysis, and energy management information systems (EMIS).
