The Government of India has set up Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) on 1st March, 2002, under the provision of the Energy Conservation Act, 2001.
The government has proposed to make it mandatory for certain appliances in India to have ratings by the BEE starting in January, 2010.
The mission of Bureau of Energy Efficiency is to “institutionalise” energy efficiency services, enable delivery mechanisms in the country and provide leadership to energy efficiency in all sectors of the country. The primary objective would be to reduce energy intensity in the economy.
