8. ENERGY Demand Side Management
The Government of India has enacted Energy Conservaion Act 2001 to promote energy saving as one of its mission. The energy
demand side management is to guide consumers on energy saving with use of energy eicient appliance and guide manufacturers
and consumers on appliance quality with improved life cycle operaion.
Invesigaion of mechanisms that would help inance demand side management programmes in all sectors by capturing future
energy savings. There is a need for programmes to incenivize energy conservaion
across various scales and aciviies staring from households to organizaion levels. These incenives should include issues of
energy saving pracices indoors as well for mobility and other uses.
Energy Infrastructure
Review of safety factors of infrastructure for all installaions in the climate risk prone areas is needed and augmented.
Future Indicaive Energy Measures at Surat
Solar energy use should be encouraged for all establishments with loor area of more than 300 sqm.
Adopion of Load Management Technique. Tarif restructuring and improved metering arrangement to
minimize power thetslosses Incenivising energy savings and use of energy eicient gadgets.
Public awareness, capacity building and training. Shit to energy eicient appliances in designated sectors through
innovaive measures and re-engineering to make the products more aford- able.
Beter technologies in illuminaion, transportaion and conservaion of power. New generaion of lighing equipment,
inverters as well as e-bikes and cars can certainly help in meeing the rouine requirements with much less power than what is
consumed in the present imes.
‘Climate Prooing’ infrastructure is necessary to ensure supply of energy in imes of loods, Higher temperature and Higher
Precipitaion in Surat. For this purpose, Climate prooing of the of-city installaions is also essenial. Climate risk screening of of
all energy infrastrcture is necessary, which should include risks on inputs water, wind, actual infrastructureincluding generaion,
transmission and distribuion infrastructure, as well as peak demands under extreme weather condiions.
ECBC compliant buildings with green building architecture are being encouraged. Though the scheme is voluntary, awareness is
being increased through coninuous outreach programmes. Solar energy should be encouraged for all establishments with
loor area of more than 300 sqm and Solar Panels for public adverising, lighing in open areas, public uiliies, streets, etc.
Mandatory emergency capive power supply arrangements manage power cuts for medium and large enterprises and muli
storied buildings Interim soluions of single point connecion in unauthorized
colonies and slums. Private Sector Paricipaion in diferent stages of Power
generaion, transmission and distribuion. Management of reacive power in the distribuion network has
to be iniiated. Greater use of renewal sources of energy viz., Wind, Solar, Bio
and Sea waves could lead to much needed improvement. Surat has already installed sludge based energy generaion as well as on
wind power. The share of renewal energy needs to be increased so that the energy demands of essenial services can be mostly
met by the alternate sources, eventhough technologies are currently priced high.
Uses of solar energy and wind energy, which is less than 2 currently, at the Industrial Installaion and important building
have to be promoted Role of the Gujarat Energy Regulatory Commission GERC is
very crucial in bringing about policies and changes in regulaion, which will further enhance the renewable energy development
in the country.

About the Rockefeller Foundaion
The Rockefeller Foundaion was established in 1913 by John D. Rockefeller, Sr., to “promote the well-being” of humanity by addressing the root causes of serious problems. The Foundaion sup-
ports work around the world to expand opportuniies for poor or vulnerable people and to help ensure that globalizaion’s beneits are more widely shared. The Rockefeller Foundaion believes
that there is a current opportunity to catalyze atenion, funding, and acion in building climate change resilience globally. The goal of the Climate Change Resilience Iniiaive is to build resil-
ience to climate change risks for poor and vulnerable people, especially through targeted invest- ments in developing, demonstraing and replicaing resilience strategies, and through leveraging
policy opportuniies to support and fund resilience building measures.
About the Asian Ciies Climate Change Resilience Network
The Asia region is the strategic geographic focus for the Foundaion’s urban climate change resil- ience work. More than 60 percent of the increase in the world’s urban populaion in the next 30
years will occur in Asia, the coninent with the largest urban populaion, and the largest popula- ion at risk to climate related impacts. Decisions made in ciies today will either amplify climate
change impacts or reduce them, and thus there is a narrowing window of opportunity to ensure that the ciies of tomorrow are developed in a climate resilient manner. Addressing urban growth
and climate trends in tandem in the Asia region provides the opportunity to create urban resil- ience strategies that will beneit the largest urban populaion of the world, and will develop mod-
els that can be exported to other regions. Through the development of the Asian Ciies Climate Change Resilience Network, the Rockefeller Foundaion works with city governments, academic
centers, non- proits and the private sector to collecively improve the ability of the ciies to with- stand, prepare for, and recover from the projected impacts of climate change. Ciies will develop
a replicable model to assess climate risks, assess vulnerabiliies, idenify, prioriize and implement resilience building measures. These intervenions will span health, infrastructure, water, disaster,
urban planningdevelopment issues, and will include leveraging policy incenives and investment funds to improve infrastructure, services, disaster management and preparedness strategies.
