Every equipment in the world uses the electricity .Now the world (mainly the gods own land ) is facing a serious problem of electricity deficiency. So in this situation we want to reduce our usage of electricity. Most electricity deficiency time is between 6 pm to 10 pm so in this time you should reduce or avoid the usage of heavy electricity consuming equipments like (motor mixxy iron box, water heater, ac, grinder etc…)

This will help to increase life of these equipments and we can save electricity also. Don’t use failed/ complained electric equipments and switch of lights and fans which are not in use in these times (I know it is impossible to live with out A/C and Fans).

When 85 lakhs of electricity consumers switch of a 60 watts bulb in leak load time , then we can save 360 mega watts of electricity. if a 450 mega watts of electricity is produced then only consumer get 350 mega watts electricity , cost of production of 1 mega electric watts is nearly in 8 Crore Indian rupees . So if you switch of one bulb in peak time you can save a 3600 Crore rupees .we can use this huge amount of money of different development programs of the state and country (total Amount spend for education in a year is near 350 Crore .).

1 UNIT = 1000 Watts hour = 1 Kwh

1. LCD monitor saves 50 % more electricity than a CRT monitor so use LCD monitor in office and in home
2. If you switch off fridge for 2 hrs (6.30 pm to 8.30 pm ) you can save electricity used for defrost
3. Use electronic chock instead of common chocks
4. Don’t use zero watt bulb it actually consumes 10 watts
5. when you switch of TV , VCR or DVD player using the remote then also there is power loses so switch of these equipments after usages
6. Don’t keep on your computer and other PC equipments on while there are not in use
7. Walls in your house which get considerable natural light should be painted in lighter/pastel shades to reflect light. This way, artificial lighting won’t be needed during the day.
8. Check the working condition of your equipments (mostly A/C and Water Heater) once in year
9. Don’t try to use complained equipments
10. Buy efficient electric appliances. Before buying an equipment check that it is 5* product a symbol of energy saver
11. Set the monitor to automatically shut off or switch to standby mode when idle
12. Turn off the monitor when your computer is unattended, for instance when downloading files overnight
13. Do not charge the phone overnight. Besides wasting power, it will damage the phone, too

The National Renewable Energy Laboratory states that many renewable energy technologies are available for use

• Biofuels
• Biopower
• Bioproducts

• Hydroelectric power
• Photovoltaic (solar cell) systems
• Solar hot water systems
• Wind energy

But these optons are limited
