Punjab State Power Corporation Limited (PSPCL) chairman-cum-managing director A Venu Prasad on Sunday called upon the people of the state to take pledge to save electrical energy for a brighter and progressive future for the coming generations.
Prasad, in a message to the people of Punjab on National Energy Conservation Day, said that electricity is the basic key input for economic development of the nation, so it is the moral duty of all citizens to save electricity and contribute towards the same.
“PSPCL has taken various steps to save electricity, which includes replacement with as many as 42,582 LED tubes of 20 watt and 4,137 LED lamps of nine watt in various office buildings of the corporation,” he said.
He added that PSPCL also initiated distribution of 15.73 lakh nine-watt LED lamps among SC, BC and BPL consumers at subsidized rates out of which 1,62,000 LED lamps have already been distributed.
Exhorting the citizens to save electricity, Prasad said that there were more than 96 lakh power consumers in Punjab and even if a single unit of power is saved by each consumer on a daily basis, it can translate into huge savings of power which will also help the consumers to save money.
