The State Energy Conservation Mission (AP - SECM) has identified 228 industrial units, including 85 new ones, as having potential to become Designated Consumers (DCs) under the Perform, Achieve & Trade (PAT) scheme and submitted the proposal to the Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) for their approval (as DCs).
They are from the chlor -alkali, commercial buildings, aluminium, cement, steel, spinning and textiles, petrochemical, automobile, ceramic, food processing and fisheries sectors.
The PAT scheme is a program launched by the BEE to reduce energy consumption and promote enhanced energy efficiency among specific energy intensive industries in the country.
