The Centre plans to cut down energy usage by 10,000 MW during peak hours by promoting LED lights across the nation.
“With energy-efficient LED lights, demand of electricity in Varanasi will be down by 45 MW and lead to savings to the tune of Rs 68 crore,” informed Goyal.
Meanwhile, Minister of Energy in Uttar Pradesh, Yassir Shah, said that there would be considerable savings on the street lights as well as in the domestic sector in due course. “This should help ensure 24x7 supply to every household," said Shah.
