Energy efficient appliances:
One of the solutions for the electricity crisis in Pakistan
Nowadays Pakistan faces sever electricity crisis which is a major barrier in the
path of its economical progress. There is about 88098Mwatts shortfall. Many
solutions have been presented to overcome this shortfall but most of them are
related to the generation side. These solutions are very expensive and some of
them cannot be implemented. On consumption side this supply and demand shortfall
can also be reduced by doing some efforts on the electrical appliances.
From the research it has been noticed that lighting and cooling are the major
consumers of electricity in Pakistan. So appliances such as bulbs, tube lights,
ceiling fans, air conditioners etc should be energy efficient. Energy efficient
appliances consume less amount of energy and produce less power losses. There
are many standards and labels which decide either an appliance is energy
efficient or not such as energy star.
Being a responsible Pakistani it is our duty to use and promote such appliances
which are labeled with energy star or 3 star labels. Although these appliances
are expensive as compare to the conventionally used appliances but it is onetime
expense which will give benefits in long terms not only to the consumer but also
to the whole nation. These energy efficient appliances reduce the electricity
bill which is beneficial for the consumer and reduce the energy consumption
which helps to reduce the electricity crisis in Pakistan.
