 EB Tariff
➢ The rate at which electrical energy is supplied to a consumer is known
as tariff.

➢ The electricity tariff includes the total cost of producing and supplying
electrical energy along with profit.

➢ Since the cost of producing electrical energy depends upon the magnitude
of electrical energy consumed by the user and the load conditions, the
electricity tariff is not the same for all types of customers.

➢ Different types of consumers eg. industrial, domestic and commercial are

given due consideration while fixing the tariff.

➢ The main objective of electricity tariff is to recover the cost of producing electrical
energy at the power station, cost on the capital investment in transmission and
distribution systems, cost of operation and maintenance of metering equipment,
2
billing etc. and a suitable profit on the capital investment.

Energy conservation = short cut to generate Power

The cost of generation of 1 MW

power is Many Crores of Rupees
and takes longer months and
years to generate.

cost of 1 MW power
conservation is only less than
Rs. 1 Crore.

 Energy Saving Methods

The three simple methods for saving

energy are as follows:
• Judicious use of energy
This involves a conscious effort to avoid
wastage of energy in every possible way.
For eg. turning off the lights when not in
use, switching off the power supply when
TV and Audio systems are not in use.
• Use of energy efficient devices
This includes the usage of star labelled
devices which not only operate efficiently
but consume much lesser energy resulting
in energy saving.
• Increased use of renewable energy
Renewable energy like solar, wind,
biomass etc. can be used for home heating
and cooling, hot water and even cooking.

 Energy Saving Tips [Source: www.merc.gov.in]
Lighting, Fan & Electric Iron
Lighting:
✓ Turn off lights when not in use
✓ Take advantage of daylight using light coloured
curtains
✓ Clean-up lighting fixtures to maintain illumination
✓ Use task lighting
✓ Replace incandescent bulbs with compact fluorescent
lamps
✓ Replace conventional chokes with electronic chokes
Fan:
✓ Replace conventional regulators with electronic
regulators for ceiling fans
✓ Install exhaust fan at a higher elevation than ceiling
fans
Electric Iron:
✓ Select iron boxes with automatic temperature cutoff
✓ Don’t iron wet clothes
Computers
✓ Turn off the monitor when not in use
✓ Set computers, monitors and copiers to sleep mode
when not in use
✓ Battery chargers draw power whenever they are
plugged in. Pull the plug and save
Washing Machines
✓ Wash only with full loads
✓ Use optimal quantity of water and detergent
✓ Use hot water only for very dirty clothes
✓ Prefer natural drying over electric dryers
Kitchen Appliances
✓ Mixers: Avoid dry grinding in food processors
✓ Microwave Ovens:
* Consumes 50% lesser energy than conventional electric/gas
stove
* Avoid baking large items
* Don’t open oven door to often to check the food condition
✓ Electric Stove:
* Turn off electric stoves several minutes before the specified
cooking time
* Use flat-bottomed pans that make full contact with the
cooking coil
✓ Gas Stove:
* Use moderate flame settings to conserve LPG
* Use pressure cookers
* Use lids to cover the pans while cooking
Refrigerator
✓ Leave enough space between the refrigerator and the walls
✓ Make sure the refrigerator doors are air tight
✓ Cover liquids and wrap foods stored in refrigerator
✓ Don’t leave the refrigerator door open for too long
Air Conditioners
✓ Use air conditioners having automatic temperature cut off
✓ Seal the doors and windows properly
✓ Use windows with sun films or curtains
✓ Plant trees or shrubs to shade air-conditioning units but10not to
block the airflow.
ELECTRICAL POWER AND ENERGY

Electrical 1 kilo-watt hour =

Power = the energy
Power is the rate Voltage × Energy: Energy is
at which energy Current × Power × measured in delivered by 1000
is supplied. Power kWh {Called watts of power over
is energy transfer
Power Factor time
{Measured in Unit for Billing a one hour time
per unit of time. Purpose } period.
watts}

Power rating of the bulb = 60W

No. of hours of operation / day = 5 h
No. of days of operation / month = 30 days
Energy consumed / month = Power * Time
= 60 * 5 * 30 = 9000Wh = 9 kWh
= 9 Units

 BEE
The Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) was set up by the Government of India on 1st March 2002
under the provisions of the Energy Conservation Act, 2001.

The mission of BEE is to assist in developing policies and strategies with a thrust on self-regulation
and market principles, within the overall framework of the Energy Conservation Act, 2001 with the
primary objective or reducing energy intensity of the Indian Economy.

The major promotional functions of BEE include:

• Create awareness and disseminate information on energy efficiency and conservation
• Arrange and organize training of personnel and specialists in the techniques for efficient use of energy
and its conservation
• Strengthen consultancy services in the field of energy conservation
• Promote research and development
• Develop testing and certification procedures and promote testing facilities
• Formulate and facilitate implementation of pilot projects and demonstration projects
• Promote use of energy efficient processes, equipment, devices and systems
• Take steps to encourage preferential treatment for use of energy efficient equipment or appliances
• Promote innovative financing of energy efficiency projects
• Give financial assistance to institutions for promoting efficient use of energy and its conservation
• Prepare educational curriculum on efficient use of energy and its conservation
• Implement international cooperation programmes relating to efficient use of energy and its
conservation.

 Star Rating for
Electrical Appliances

Source: https://beeindia.gov.in/content/star-labelled-appliances

The star label indicates the energy consumption level of the device in two
ways.

Firstly, it can represent absolute values stating the number of electrical

units that would be used on an average by the appliance.

Secondly, it can also use the star rating system. The star ratings range
from one to five. The more the number of stars, the more energy
efficient the appliance is.

Hence BEE labels ensure that customers buy quality products that not only
function well but also save on electricity costs.

Estimate the energy consumed per month by the following electrical
appliances.
Energy Consumed by LED per month = 12 × 5 × 5 × 30
= 9,000 Wh

Energy Consumed by Ceiling Fan per month = 55 × 2 × 6 × 30

= 19,800 Wh

Energy Consumed by Mixer per month = 750 × 1 × 0.5 × 30

= 11,250 Wh

Energy Consumed by Refrigerator per month = 500 × 1 × 10 × 30

= 1,50,000 Wh

Total Energy Consumption = 1,90,050 Wh (9000 + 19800 + 11250 +

150000)
= 190.05 Units
