Conservation tactics

The MoU signed among the Sindh government, the energy department and KE to raise public awareness with regard to energy conservation and promote energy efficiency initiatives is a commendable step taken by the concerned authorities. Pakistan is already an energy-deficient country where electricity load management is one of the biggest challenges faced by policymakers.

Summer is the worst period in the country as the demand for electricity increases. This increases the burden on equipment and leads to power outages because of the excessive use of energy consumption. Energy conservation is not an option but a necessity and it should be the priority of every segment of society. It is time the people played their role in saving energy.
