A move is underway to enlist chartered energy auditors for large industries and commercial structures rated to be designated consumers (DS) under a certain rule by early next year.

 

According to official sources, Sustainable and Renewable Energy Development Authority (Sreda) will enlist the auditors to empower them to conduct audits in the DS category industries and commercial structures.

 

"Now under a process, some 175 candidates are going to sit for exams to emerge as energy auditors. Those who will pass the examinations will be eligible for being enlisted as professional chartered energy auditors like chartered accountants," said a Sreda official.

 

He said the government promulgated Energy Audit Regulations 2018 in August 2 last year under the Sustainable and Renewable Energy Development Authority (Sreda) Act, 2018 to conduct mandatory energy audit for large energy consumers.

 

"At present, there're more than 1,000 such DS category consumers. But we've selected 100 of them for energy audit initially," he noted.

 

Sreda sources said the organization has moved to appoint the energy auditors through a process defined in the energy efficiency regulations as part of its initiative to enhance energy efficiency of industries and large consumers.

 

Under the move, they said, a standard curriculum has already been formulated while applications sought from eligible candidates who want to take up energy auditing as a profession.

 

Responding to the move, 175 candidates have already applied to obtain certificates from Sreda as 'Chartered Energy Auditors'.
