Class Energy Efficiency

1. Only the latest plants can be World

Class

 30% of companies participating in

“CII – National Award for Excellence in
Energy Management” more than
30 years old !!

Vintage of the plant not a criteria !

 good
 A very old cement plant
 1993-94 : 110 kWh / ton of cement
 2003-04 : 70 kWh / ton of cement
 Among the top few cement plants in the
country today
 Excellent example of old company
achieving “World Class” standards

Not for already “good” companies only !

3. Becoming World Class is expensive

 CII – Godrej GBC Building – the “Greenest

Building in the World”
 Only 18% expensive than conventional
building
 Pays back in less than 4 years !

WCEE – not necessarily expensive !

 To become a World Class Unit !
 Paradigm shift needed
Believe “We can become World Class”
 At organizational level
Believe “World Class is Possible”
Accept it as a challenge & align all activities
 “World Class Energy Efficiency” a reality
With concerted efforts of all stake holders
