In exercise of the powers conferred by clause (h) of sub-section (2) of Section 56 read with clause (k) of Section 14 of the Energy Conservation Act, 2001 (52 of 2001), the Central Government, hereby makes the following rules, namely:
(1) These rules may be called the Energy Conservation (Form and Manner and Time for Furnishing Information with regard to Energy Consumed and Action Taken on Recommendations of Accredited Energy Auditor) Rules, 2008.
(2) They shall come into force on the date of their publication in the Official Gazette.
(1) In these rules unless the context otherwise requires,
(a) Act means the Energy Conservation Act, 2001;
(b) Form means the forms specified under Rule 3;
(c) year means the financial year beginning on the 1st day of April and ending on the 31st March following;
(d) words and expression used herein and not defined, but defined in the Act shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Act.
(1) Every designated consumer within three months of the submission of energy audit report by the accredited energy auditor shall, furnish in electronic form as well as in a hard copy, to the designated agency,
(a) details of information on energy consumed during the year preceding to the year for which energy audit was undertaken as verified by the accredited energy auditor, in Form 1;
(b) details of specific energy consumption productwise for the period referred to in clause (a), in Form 1;
(c) details of the action taken on the recommendations made by the accredited energy auditor in the energy audit report submitted under the Act, in Form 2.
(2) Every designated consumer shall furnish to the designated agency every year, the details of progress made in consequence of the action taken by it as per clause (c) of sub-rule (1) of Rule 3 together with the details of energy efficiency improvement measures implemented and consequent savings achieved in Form 3, within three months of the close of that year.
(1) Every designated consumer shall furnish the information under Rule 3 after getting the same authenticated by its energy manager appointed or designated in terms of notification number S.O. 318(E), dated the 2nd March, 2007.
(2) The information under sub-rule (1) shall be strictly in accordance with the energy audit report of the accredited energy auditor.
