  "account": "On World Ozone Day, a one-hour \"lights-out\" campaign in Jakarta province resulted in a 74.23-ton reduction of COe emissions, according to PLN UID Jakarta Raya data. The initiative, held from 8:30 PM to 9:30 PM WIB, saved 92.79 megawatt-hours (MWh) of electricity and yielded Rp134,271,696 in cost savings, a 23.42 percent increase from a similar event in 2020. Jakarta Environmental Agency Head Dudi Gardesi emphasized that individual actions, such as turning off unnecessary lights and appliances, can collectively contribute to energy conservation and emission reduction. He urged residents, building managers, and business owners to adopt energy-saving habits, turning off lights in unoccupied spaces, using electrical devices only as needed, and relying on natural daylight when possible.",
