Ten Aluminium Industrial units covered under the PAT Scheme are expected to achieve energy savings of 0.456 million tonnes of oil equivalent, which is 7% of the total energy savings potential that 478 designated Consumers aim to achieve by 2014-15.
The Knowledge Exchange Platform was launched on 26th February, 2015 by BEE in partnership with Institute for Industrial Productivity (IIP). An ‘Action Plan’ detailing the roadmap for KEP and the quarterly Newsletter of the initiative was shared with the participants at the workshop. The Aluminium Workshop was inaugurated by Shri Abhijit Pati, CEO, Vedanta Aluminium Business.

A table top exhibition was also organized which showcased the energy efficient technologies.
A Sector Learning Group (SLG) of Aluminium sector was constituted, comprising of top management officials from Aluminium Sector, to guide the sector’s future activities under KEP.
