The scheme will consist of the following provisions: 1. Objective The objective of the scheme is to identify areas where excess energy consumption or wastage of energy is taking place. It involves measuring the actual energy consumption of various electrical gadgets used in the premises, comparing it with an estimate of the minimum energy required to undertake the process and establishing technically and economically feasible means to achieve the same & suggest best ways to optimize the energy consumption leading to energy saving and cutting down electricity bills.

2. Quantum of Assistance 75% reimbursement of cost of energy audit subject to a maximum of Rs. 2 lakh and 50% subsidy on cost of capital equipments required for undertaking measures to conserve energy, subject to maximum of Rs. 20 lakh shall be provided to an eligible Micro, Small & Medium Enterprise.

3. Commencement and Applicability The Scheme shall commence with effect from 15th August, 2015 and shall remain in operation for a period of 5 years. MSMEs which have undertaken energy audit and purchased equipments after 14th August, 2015 and before 14th August, 2020 shall be eligible under this scheme.

4. Eligibility Criteria All MSMEs existing anywhere in the state, which have filed UAM/EM Part-II shall be eligible under the scheme. Such enterprises shall be provided financial assistance only if the energy audit has been done by an Energy Auditor certified by the Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) or Energy Service Companies (ESCO) listed on the website of BEE.

The detailed scope of energy audit is mentioned at Annexure-I. The eligible units must also comply with the following conditions: (i) The item of manufacture should not fall in the restrictive list as notified by the State Government from time to time.

(ii) The assistance on cost of capital equipment will be provided only if, there has been at least 15% reduction in average monthly energy consumption (electrical and thermal) compared with average of previous 12 months before conducting of audit.

(4323)4324 HARYANA GOVT. GAZ. (EXTRA.), NOV. 21, 2019 (KRTK 30, 1941 SAKA) (iii) Even after taking all steps as mentioned above for efficient use of energy, if actual electricity consumption is increasing due to increase in production then such claim will be examined separately by a committee to be constituted by the Director of Industries & Commerce.

(iv) Investments in new plant, machinery and equipments focussed towards enhancing energy efficiency shall only be eligible for subsidy under this scheme.

(v) The applicant must obtain and submit an undertaking along with the purchase bill from machinery supplier confirming that the rates quoted by the supplier are not higher than those quoted with other private organizations.

(vi) The energy audit report must contain three quotations from different authorized dealers/suppliers for the recommended machine/capital equipment to be installed.

(vii) In case of any discrepancy identified by the competent authority the audit report may again be validated by HAREDA.

(viii) The unit should have obtained NOC/CLU from competent authority, if applicable. (ix) The unit should be in commercial production. (x) The unit should be in regular production at the time of disbursement. The assistance shall not be released to a closed unit.
