Risk of continuous depletion of natural resources of energy has led to a greater awareness for energy management throughout the world. Energy should not only be used wisely and economically, it should also be conserved effectively for future generations. Industry, being one of the major users of energy, by adopting energy conservation, can contribute substantially for social and economic development of a country. Small and micro industries often exist in the form of clusters and act as an important component of Indian economy. Energy being an vital input, enhancing its utilization efficiency not only helps in improving competitiveness of Small scale industries through cost reduction but also aids in improving energy linked environmental pollution. A survey has been conducted on energy practices being adopted by some cluster industries in Haryana and Punjab and a six-stepped Plan has been proposed for improving performance of energy management programme in these industries.
