The Agriculture Demand Side Management (Ag-DSM) scheme of BEE was initiated during XI plan. The objective of the programme is to reduce the energy intensity of agriculture pumping sector by carrying out efficiency up gradation of agricultural pump sets. It is estimated that there are about 19 million pumpsets, and 2.5 to 5 lakh new pumpsets are being added every year. Unfortunately, these pumpsets are inefficient, largely because farmers have no incentive to invest in higher cost, higher efficiency pumpsets due to low electricity tariffs for agriculture consumers. This has resulted in increased annual subsidy burden on State governments which has grown to more than INR 65,000 crore per annum. Studies reveal that about 30%-40% energy savings is possible in agriculture sector by adoption of Energy Efficient Star Labelled Pump Sets.

Ag DSM scheme of BEE was initiated during XI plan in eleven DISCOMs of selected eight states (Maharashtra, Haryana, Punjab, Rajasthan, Gujarat, Andhra Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh and Karnataka) which were agriculturally intensive and accounted for more than 70% of electricity consumption in this sector.Under this scheme, 11 Detailed Project Reports (DPRs) were prepared in 8 states covering about 20,000 pump sets connected on 87 feeders and indicating saving potential of 97 million kWh.

In the XII plan, the approach for achieving sustainable energy efficiency was widespread replication through regulatory mechanism which will be coupled with the subsidy provided by the GoI for bridging the EEPS pump sets higher cost, capacity building of all stakeholders, few demonstration projects in rural drinking water pumping systems and strategic approach for dissemination of results.

First AgDSM pilot project in Solapur, Maharstra: The first pilot Ag-DSM project implemented in Mangalwedha Sub-division of Solapur District in Maharashtra. Under this project, total 2209 pumpsets is replaced (free of cost to farmers) with energy efficient star rated pumpsets reflecting annual energy savings of 6.1 million kWh.

Second Pilot AgDSM project in HESCOM, Karnataka: Replacement of old in-efficient 590 nos. of agriculture pumps with new star rated energy efficient pumps in phase one in Nippani and Byadgi circles of HSECOM, has been completed successfully. Energy savings of 37% has been achieved in the 590 nos. of pump sets replaced.

EESL has started a bulk procurement programme in this area: where inefficient agricultural pump sets are replaced with BEE 5 star-rated energy efficient pump sets together with smart controls (enabling farmers to remotely monitoring and control options to optimise energy and water use) at zero-cost for farmers. The replacement also entitles farmers to free repair and maintenance during the 5-year years.

The Billion-Dollar Debt Deals Exposing an Oil Giant

Last week, Angola's state oil company, Sociedade Nacional de Combustíveis de Angola (Sonangol), secured a $2.65-billion financing deal with a consortium of international banks to fund the company's operating expenses and capital investments. The financing was heavily backed by a syndicate of foreign lenders including Société Générale, First Abu Dhabi Bank, Standard Bank of South Africa and Absa, while local Angolan banks, including Banco Fomento de Angola (BFA), Banco Millennium Atlântico and Banco Angolano…

AI Demand, War, and Climate Pressure Push World Back To Nuclear

Global energy markets are in turmoil as energy crises keep piling up. The energy-hungry AI boom, war in Iran, geopolitical instability, and climate pressures are creating a polycrisis for the global energy sector, and it’s just getting started. To solve multiple overlapping crises, we will need multiple overlapping solutions. An all-of-the-above solution to increasing energy security is therefore gaining favor on a global scale as the precariousness of over-reliance on limited energy supply chains becomes dangerously clear. While fossil fuels…

China's Battery Giant Bets Big on Sodium as Lithium Volatility Persists

The world’s largest battery maker is taking a step back from the eclectic vehicles sector to refocus its efforts on energy storage. China’s Contemporary Amperex Technology Co. Ltd. (better known as CATL) has been building up its energy storage portfolio for years now, but the company’s transition away from EVs and toward energy systems has been supercharged by the artificial intelligence boom. Five years ago, just 2 percent of CATL’S sales came from battery storage. Today, storage accounts for a full quarter of the megacompany’s…
