Saving Energy
Over the last few years, you have been part of the Tata Power Club Enerji movement and have worked towards saving energy by saving electricity.
Thanks to your efforts, Tata Power Club Enerji has saved more than 3.4 million units of energy and sensitised more than 2 million people nationwide.
The 3.4 million units of energy saved is equivalent to the amount of energy used to light up 1,496 houses for a year and save 3,300 tonnes of CO2 emissions.

CO2 and Global Warming
CO2 is greenhouse gas that acts as a blanket surrounding the Earth.
This blanket prevents the Sun’s heat from escaping into space, keeping the Earth warm.
But when we release more greenhouse gases into our atmosphere, the Earth gets even hotter, leading to
Global Warming

Golden Rules of Saving Electricity

You already know how to save electricity…Can you tell us how?
How Can We Measure Electricity Use?
To measure electricity use we can use the Electricity Bill
www.clubenerji.com
If you use 10 electric bulbs of 60 watts each and they are used for 8 hours everyday.
Then your daily energy consumption for electric bulbs =
10 x 60 watts x 8 hours = 4800 watt-hours Your monthly energy consumption for electric bulbs =
4800 watt-hours x 30 days = 144000 watt-hours = 144 kilowatt-hours OR 144 units.
1 Unit : 1 kilowatt-hour

But There’s More to be Done!
So this year we will focus on Saving Fuelwhile continuing our efforts to Save Electricity
Why fuel?Did you know:
80% of the observed increase in atmospheric CO2 results from the burning of fossil fuels.

Fuel is any material that stores energy that we can extract to perform mechanical work
Fossil Fuels include coal, fuel oils like petrol and diesel and natural gas, which are extracted from the Earth
We use fuel primarily forTransportation and Cooking
