Abstract
Energy management has emerged as a comprehensive framework for implementing sustainable accounting initiatives. This chapter elaborates and explains the energy management and auditing practices in the context of Indian micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs). MSMEs form a neglected but a large part of the Indian economy. The chapter delves upon the importance of implementing energy management in MSMEs. Moreover, MSMEs are generally inefficient in their energy usage due to lack of technological upgradation. Therefore, energy management initiatives are of greater relevance for this sector. Energy management requires the coordination among a network of organizations including the focal organization, the government bodies, NGOs, and trained energy consultants. For energy management practices to take root, a business ecosystem perspective is required. The chapter highlights the theoretical dimensions of energy management and emerging ecosystem of energy management through case studies of the Firozabad glass industry and the Morbi ceramic tiles industry.
