The State Energy Efficiency Index (SEEI) 2024 is the sixth edition released by the Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) under the Ministry of Power. It was developed in partnership with the Alliance for an Energy Efficient Economy (AEEE).
This index looks at the energy efficiency performance of 36 states and Union Territories (UTs) in India for the fiscal year 2023-24. It evaluates energy efficiency in seven demand sectors like buildings, industry, transport, electricity distribution companies (DISCOMs), agriculture, municipal services and cross-sector initiatives. The assessment uses a framework of 66 indicators that focus on both implementation and outcomes.
State Energy Efficiency Index (SEEI) 2024
- This Index Released by Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) under Ministry of Power and Alliance for an Energy Efficient Economy (AEEE).
- First launched in 2018 & SEEI is published annually.
- Its Objective is to track state-level energy efficiency progress and encourage energy-efficient governance, policies, and outcomes.
- Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Assam, and Tripura have emerged as the top performers in their respective groups in the State Energy Efficiency Index 2024 in this sixth edition
- States and UTs are classified into four categories:
- Front Runners (>60% score)
- Achievers (50–60%)
- Contenders (30–50%)
- Aspirants (<30%)
SEEI 2024 is an important policy tool that guides local actions to improve energy efficiency and support India’s climate goals. This includes achieving net-zero emissions by 2070 and reducing emissions intensity by 45% by 2030. It promotes data-driven monitoring, sharing of best practices and healthy competition among states to expand effective energy saving strategies. The changing framework focuses on new priorities such as electric vehicle adoption, star-rated buildings and demand-side management strategies for DISCOMs. visit here
