Minutes of 2nd
Demand-side Management Consultation Committee (DSM-CC) meeting
Organized at the office of Maharashtra Electricity Regulatory Commission (MERC)
3 March 2010 (4:30 PM to 6:30 PM)
The 2nd
DSM CC meeting was convened to discuss the following specific items – i)
establishing reasons for implementing pilot DSM programs in the HVAC sector, ii) discuss 4
pilot HVAC programs and 3 HVAC pilot DSM programs submitted by M/s Tata Power and
Reliance Infrastructure respectively, iii) deliberate on conducting Evaluation, Measurement
and Verification (EM&V) of DSM pilots/other programs and iv) deliberate on the Gas Water
Heaters program to be implemented as a pilot and preparatory activities thereof. List of
individuals who attended the meeting is included to this note as Annex 1. Deliberations at the
meeting are captured in the following paragraphs.
1. Convenor of the DSM-CC meeting - Secretary MERC made an opening presentation on
the MERC DSM activities subsequent to the opening remarks by Chairman, MERC and
introductions by the participants. Key activities at MERC related to the DSM
implementation include finalization of 2 DSM regulations (one on the Implementation
Framework and the other on the Cost-Effectiveness Assessment); creation of discussion
paper and draft regulations related to EM&V and review of DSM pilots by Mumbai
utilities and Agriculture DSM proposal by Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution
Company Limited (MSEDCL). The presentation made by Secretary, MERC is attached as
Annex 2 to this note.
2. MERC DSM Consultant made a presentation summarizing the intent behind developing
DSM pilot programs, summary of total/utility investments, expected benefits and
expected learning process through this exercise. Key lessons to be learned through the
DSM pilot programs implementation include understanding project and transactions
costs, expected v/s guaranteed/warranted life of the equipment, market readiness/product
availability/market creation process, customer involvement and perceived benefits,
timespan required for initiating bidding and selection process of suppliers, time required
for implementation of large and small programs and assumed v/s realized savings
assuming the ambient variations. In the current form, the utility programs target close to 3
MW demand-shift and 1.6 MU annual savings through the HVAC pilot programs
proposed by Tata Power and Reliance Infrastructure. The pilot programs assume a total
investment of Rs. 10 Crores and utility investment of Rs. 3 crores in its current form.
MSEDCL is implementing an Agriculture DSM program in the Solapur district to replace
3000 irrigation pump-sets with an investment of Rs. 6 Crores – targeting an annual
savings of 8.12 MU. MSEDCL project is supported by the Bureau of Energy Efficiency
and will be implemented by an ESCO making the initial investment, paid by MSEDCL

over the next five years. Presentation made by MERC DSM Consultant is attached as
Annex 3.
3. Comments/suggestions on the pilot HVAC programs. Comments made by all the
participants have been captured below. Mr. Daljit Singh from Prayas Energy Group and
Prof. Rangan Banerjee from Indian Institute of Technology – Bombay made specific
comments on the program design and M&V strategies. Comments are summarized below.
• Pilots should have a clear path towards launching a large-scale program
• Pilot programs to be designed to be able to measure the savings of those participating
in the program vis-à-vis a control group sample
• Selection of the segments, technologies and categories should be done in such a way
so as to be able to launch a large-scale program in the same category; savings could
be projected to the entire population in the respective categories. HVAC programs
should have congruence with the distribution of appliances in each category and plan
to scale-up based on that.
• Utilities should develop a plan to launch large-scale programs based on the lessons
learned from the pilot program implementation.
• Fans retrofits program may be difficult to implement; a new stocks programs should
be launched in place of the retrofit or simultaneously.
• On large HVAC/TES programs, it may not be necessary to offer any incentives; only
energy audits, design/engineering and M&V costs should be covered under the
program. However, in order to push the programs any specific pilot/demonstration
projects may be planned. All the large-scale Thermal Storage or the central AC
programs should necessarily have pre and post-implementation audits. Large HVAC
and TES programs should be implemented picking divergent category of users and a
replication path clearly set out.
• Pre and post-program design activities in the residential sector should include
understanding the actual use of appliances (fans in this case). This analysis should be
included in the M&V plan by the utilities.
• A clustered approach towards implementing such programs may be thought about. As
an example – replacing all ceiling fans installed in one building and/or connected to
the same transformer/feeder and comparing the savings/results with a control sample
would be useful. The selection process to enrol consumers may consider the above
approach.
• In all programs, measurement & verification should include comparison of a control
v/s program sample savings. It is essential to develop a clear M&V protocols to create
baseline energy consumption and its comparison with the actual savings.
Measurement & verification should also consider ambient variations wherever
applicable.
• Pilots should be used to understand the hardware costs and transactions costs. Above
analysis should help us understand cost per kWh saved.

• Above program can be integrated with interruptible load control for peak-time use.
The interruptible load control may be included as one of the components of the
program design.
• We need to develop a big vision statement around efficiency and demand-side
management
• Time of Use / Time of the Day tariffs that prominently reflect the load shape
objectives should be considered in the program designs.
Comments made by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) have been shared with
Tata Power and Reliance Infrastructure, which will be considered by them during the
proposed revisions.
4. Developing Gas Water Heaters strategy – this discussion followed the discussions at the
DSM-CC between MERC DSM Cell, Prayas Energy Group and International Copper
Promotion Council. A program to replace existing electric water heaters with the gas
water heaters is important. Specific points to be considered in the program design include
i) supply position (of gas from MGL and technology), ii) technology leapfrogging to
include heat exchangers integrated with the combustion chambers, iii) safety concerns
5. Other generic comments – participants at the meeting discussed three specific points
related to the DSM research and dissemination raised by Mr. Suresh Kumar, special
invitee to the DSM-CC meeting. Directed curricula development related to the research
on the energy efficiency and DSM area is required. A dedicated website on the DSM
activities by the utilities in Maharashtra is essential. DSM should be in the form of a mass
movement as opposed to individualistic efforts by Regulators or Utilities. The utilities can
also make use of their existing advertisements and spread a public message about the
same. Education of the constituents of the distribution chain is extremely necessary (e. g.
Stockists and Retailers) Architect associations should also be educated.
Action items
1. Based on the discussions during the meeting; the utilities to jointly revise the programs in
consultation with the DSM CC members wherever feasible. Revised programs with
feasible modifications should be submitted to the Commission during the week of 8
March 2010. Commission final review process shall commence immediately.
2. Pilot program specific measurement & verification formats will be developed by the
utilities and a specific consultation meeting could be held with a focused group including
IIT-Bombay and inputs from other partners.
3. ICPCI, Prayas with support from the MERC DSM Cell shall develop Agenda for the
proposed roundtable on Gas Water Heaters to be convened by the end of March 2010.
4. MERC DSM Cell, in partnership with Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and the
IIT-Bombay shall develop the discussion paper and draft regulations related to the
Evaluation, Measurement & Verification (EM&V) within next two months. The review
process should begin in May 2010.
