The Perform, Achieve and Trade (PAT) scheme is a market-based mechanism aimed at enhancing energy efficiency in large energy-consuming industries in India. It is a key component of the National Mission for Enhanced Energy Efficiency (NMEEE) under India’s National Action Plan on Climate Change (NAPCC).
The PAT scheme targets Designated Consumers (DCs) in specific energy-intensive sectors, setting energy reduction targets for them. Achieving these targets earns them Energy Saving Certificates (ESCs) which can be traded.
The scheme is implemented by the Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) under the Ministry of Power. While contributing indirectly to mitigating global warming by reducing energy consumption, its direct focus and mechanism are centred on improving energy efficiency across various industrial sectors.
