How to reduce wastage of electricity?


Switch on lights and fans only when you need. Swith them off in the rooms where no one is there. Replace incandecent lamps with CFL.
Tube lights should be fitted with electronic chokes instead of the wired type. Do not use AC (air conditioner) during the day. Even in the nights the use of AC should be restricted to very warm nights and adjust the temparature not below 24 degrees. The AC can be switched off when the room gets sufficiently cool. Similarly the use of room heaters should be restricted to a few hours till the room gets tokerably warm. Minimum necessary capacity of water pump is to be selected and the number of switchings should as minimum as possible. Low capacity gaysers should selected and they should be switched on only for the duration of usage.
Solar water heaters available in the market , it it is possible to be installed and used will save considerable electricity.

We have many programs or uints in Mauritius which help us to aware of the exceeds of energy use. For example in 2009 the government had extent 1 hour in summer to save energy. In 2002 Minister of Energy, Mr Cassenally had suggested this idea of saving energy. The Central Electricity Board (CEB) in Mauritius is informing the population of Mauritius how to save energy and they are selling energy saving bulbs, these bulbs use less electrical energy. They even advertise on tv how to save energy, they give phamlets along with newspaper to make the population of Mauritian aware of importance of energy.
