FESCO region: Electricity conservation campaign launched

Faisalabad Electric Supply Company (FESCO) has initiated a nationwide electricity conservation campaign, under the guidance of its CEO, Engr Muhammad Aamer. The campaign's objective is to promote responsible usage of electricity among consumers, discouraging wasteful consumption. Engr Aamer emphasized that conservation is a collective responsibility and each minor effort can contribute significantly towards national resource preservation.

The campaign encourages consumers to adopt minor electrical usage precautions in their daily lives, highlighting that each unit of electricity saved benefits hospitals, other essential facilities and reduces pressure on the power distribution system. The campaign does not aim to limit electricity usage but to promote efficient use, which can reduce consumers' electricity bills.

FESCO urged consumers to switch off unnecessary lights and appliances, utilize natural daylight during the day, replace traditional bulbs with energy-efficient LED ones, and completely switch off electrical appliances instead of leaving them in standby mode. The campaign particularly emphasizes avoiding electricity usage during peak hours, especially from 6:00pm to 11:00pm, and advised agricultural consumers to avoid running tube wells during the evening to reduce the electricity system's burden during peak demand periods.

Moreover, consumers are advised to use electricity strictly within their sanctioned load. If millions of consumers collectively save even minimal units of electricity daily, it could significantly decrease electricity demand, thus easing pressure on the power distribution system and ensuring electricity supply to the maximum number of consumers.
