Deficit in Telugu states due to severe El Nino The impact of rainfall has gradually started to be felt in each sector. Electricity demand is recording new highs during winters as well. Current is not available even if it is bought in the open market. In this context, governments are asking people to use the available resources sparingly to deal with El Nino conditions.

Experts say that saving electricity means reducing unnecessary consumption. They suggest that it is a matter of habit and can be done very easily if you put your mind to it. Due to El Nino, small tips should be followed to avoid more embarrassing situations in the future.

An AC would be great. Now many houses have three or four ACs, centralized ACs. Electrical engineers say that the increase in the use of ACs is one of the reasons for the significant increase in electricity demand in recent times.

  • According to the Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE), electricity can be saved a lot if the AC temperature is at 24 degrees. At nights when the temperature is low, the electricity consumption will be reduced even if it is used near 26 degrees instead of 24 degrees. Not more than 5 units if used for 8 hours. Electricity can be saved from 36 to 60 units per month. 
  • The timer should be set so that the AC turns off automatically when the weather gets cold in the morning. Keep the room doors closed while using AC. By cleaning the filters from time to time, the load on the compressor is not increased. 
  • Use natural light as much as possible even during the day. Lamps are used in the name of home decoration even if it is not necessary. It should be reduced in the present situation. 
  • Lights and fans are switched off while leaving the room. But if there is one room in the house, the fans and lights keep on in the other room. See to it that the lamps are lit only where they are needed. 
  • Do not open fridge doors repeatedly. Sometimes the door rubber seal does not close. So it should be observed from time to time. Do not refrigerate hot foods. 
  • Devices like TV, computer, mobile charger should be turned off when not in use. The TV is turned off with the remote but the socket plug remains on.
  • Geysers are one of the biggest consumers of electricity. Once applied, it is better for the whole family to bathe at the same time. Electricity consumption will increase if everyone turns it on once in a while.
  • Washing machine should be used with full load instead of washing four or five clothes. 
  • Many times they see lights on and fans running for hours in vain. Those who go late in the office should get used to turning off all the fans.
  • If you are buying new appliances in Dussehra festival offers, it is better to buy those with BEE star rating.

There are 20 percent distribution losses from power generation centers to the consumer. That means if one unit is saved, 1.2 units of electricity is generated. Saving electricity should be considered as everyone's responsibility in the current situation. LDE lamps should be used instead of regular bulbs in homes. Fans are also now brushless direct current (BLDC). This saves electricity. ACs and fridges that consume a lot of electricity should only be star rated. Don't settle for less in terms of price. Poor quality appliances consume more electricity.
