Domestic Customers


  Power is precious - use it judiciously

  One unit saved = Two units generated

  Switch off lights, fans and other electrical gadgets when not required

  Sunlight is available free of cost. Make maximum use of daylight and reduce the use of artificial light

  Keep the bulbs and tubes clean to get better light

  Use low wattage bulbs for corridors and other less important areas

  Use light-coloured paints and distempers for interiors

  Use tube lights in place of filament lights. They last longer, consume less power and give you more light

  Do not keep the door of your refrigerator open unnecessarily

  Reduce the height of partition walls wherever possible

  Eschew the use of ornamental and festoon lights

  Use cords of suitable capacity to avoid loss of energy and to reduce fire accidents due to short circuits

  Use air-conditioners and climate control equipment very sparingly

  Keep the motors clean and cool

  Use capacitors near motor terminals to avoid damage to motors and to reduce demand charges




Rural Customers


  Use foot valves of low resistance to save upto 10% power

  Use RPVC suction pipes to save upto 10% power

  Motor and pump should be at same level. Pump should be within 3 meters from the water level

  Use pump sets of suitable power depending upon water lifting requirements. It could save upto 25% power

  The capacity of motor should match the requirements. Using motors of higher capacity, where a lower one is good enough, results in loss of power. Use only motors of good efficiency

  The pipe in which water comes out should be as close to earth level as possible

  Use capacitors near motor terminals to avoid damage to motors and to reduce demand charges





Industrial Customers


  Keep the motors clean and cool

  Use capacitors near motor terminals to avoid damage to motors and to reduce demand charges

  Tighten belts and pulleys at regular intervals to avoid energy losses due to drag

  The capacity of motor should match the requirements. Using motors of higher capacity, where a lower one is good enough results in loss of power. Use only motors of good efficiency

  Use grease frequently at all required points in the motor and motor drives to reduce friction

  The machine driven should be very close to the motor

  Sunlight is available free of cost. Make maximum use of daylight and reduce use of artificial light

  Change worn out bearings and repair them in time
