ESCerts and the PAT Scheme: A Primer for Designated Consumers

What is the PAT Scheme?

The Perform Achieve and Trade (PAT) scheme, administered by BEE, targets energy-intensive industries classified as Designated Consumers (DCs).

How the Cycle Works

Each PAT cycle, DCs are assigned energy intensity reduction targets. Overachievers earn ESCerts. Underachievers must purchase them or face penalties.

Trading Mechanism

ESCerts trade on power exchanges including PXIL. Prices rise sharply near compliance deadlines — making early planning essential.

We run PAT gap analyses, model scenarios, and execute ESCert transactions at optimal timing.
