^{_{OFFICE MEMORANDUM}}

Subject:- Procurement of energy efficient electrical appliances.

In order to effect energy savings in the long-term by promoting procurement of energy efficient equipment, there is a need for Ministries/Departments to procure energy efficient appliances. In this context it has been decided, in consultation with Ministry of Power and the Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE), that all Ministries/Department and their attached and subordinate offices would, while procuring appliances indicated in Para 2 of this 0M, ensure that they carry the threshold BEE Star Rating indicated against them, or higher. The threshold ratings have been finalized based on a life cycle cost analysis carried out by BEE.

2. The appliances and the minimum threshold BEE Star rating are tabulated below:

Appliance	Threshold star rating
Split Air Conditioners	5 star ( under normal conditions where annual usages are expected to be more than 1000 hrs.) 3 star (where usage of AC is limited, eg. In Conference Rooms)
Frost Free Refrigerators	4 Star
Ceiling Fans	5 Star
Water Heaters	5 Star

3. It may be noted that GFR provisions and all extant rules/guidelines of procurement would apply. Ministry of Power and BEE have confirmed that adequate number of manufacturers/models of the prescribed Star rating are available to enable competitive procurement.
