We all have to change our mentality and to think about savings that is for me and for my Nation. Energy saving by switch off all electrical apparatatus not in use, during lunch hours, maximum use of day light, change all incandescent bulb by CFL, LED lamps. Power Factor improvement is a biggest factor in domestic loads which is most important term in Electrical Engg. Awareness atmosphere to make for young and old,urban and rural, home and office. That may bring big savings in bills, energy.

Many small companies in the MSME sector are losing their export orders because our logistics costs are more. Developed countries spend only 8% to 9% of their GDP on logistics, where as India spends around 14% of GDP for logistics costs. Higher logistics costs pushes the cost of the products manufactured in India and in competition, we lose, because of this additional cost of Logistics. Like PMji initiated 'make India' movement, a 'MOVE' India movement is also need of the hour for growth of MFG.

All household must develop the habit of saving energy.The wastage of energy may be reduced by educating the peoples.Only simple habits that switch off the light when it is not in use,switch on the only light which is required instead of all lights in a house,switch on TV only when you are seeing it and cooking with closed utensils/pressure cookers,use highly energy efficient utensils may save energy.It may be done by behavioral change inpublic.

In Most houses Power Inverters are being utilized. Using inverter in a house is additional burdon on grid. At the time of power outage battery power is used and when the power restores charging battery is additional load on grid. The excess load on consumer pocket is power losses in battery and inverter equipment. If we just remove inverter/UPS from power source, A lot can be saved. Existing inverters can be used with solar panels as additional power source. Power companies may modify rules.

Dear Sir, There are currently technologies available to create energy from roads where there is dense movement of vehicles. Most of our city roads have dense traffic. Installing load cells under the roads at vantage points will help generate electrical energy.Huge potential Sir.

Hello Sir, Govt should incentivise ENTREPRENEURS who can come-up with affordable Automated devices which can be fitted with MCB's at household, govt, private offices, industries to control inappropriate usage of power, leackages and people can customize and configure their power usage as per their daily needs.if they are out of town they should be able to switch on@6pm / off@6am automatically. We need to think out of the box solutions to give more power to rural areas in our country.

Dear Sir, On saving energy, there should be a law which bans lighting for advertisements which are erected in cities on road medians, vacant spaces, bus stops etc. This should be specially enforced between Feb and July so that we reduce both consumption and heat. This is especially true for metros and cities. For rest of the time i.e. between july and jan, they can be allowed but only using LED and not any tube lights.

Dear Sir, Here if we try to save energy then obviously the bill is going to reduce. but when it happens then government people come and say that you stealing electricity or they say your meter is defective and change it and again charge for it. that time it feels not save energy instead pay regular how much you are paying previously.
