    Electricity is generated at power plants and sent through transmission substations and distribution substations before reaching residences. Key terms include kilowatt-hour (KWh) for measuring household electricity consumption, megawatt for measuring power plant generation, and the mechanical to electrical energy transformation that occurs in generators. To save on power consumption, one should replace regular lightbulbs with more efficient compact fluorescent lamps (CFL) or LED lamps. An example calculation shows how to determine the energy used and cost for operating a 0.6 kW television for 12 hours using the price per kWh from the local electric company, Meralco.

    Remember:
    KWh(Kilowatt hour) – units for electrical
    consumption measured by electric companies four
    our household consumption in our homes
    Megawatt- In power stations generating electricity,
    power is measured in megawatt.
    Mechanical to Electrical- energy transformation

    Saving power Consumption
    Buy a compact fluorescent lamp (CFL) or
    LED lamp because it is more energy
    efficient.
    How much energy is used to operate a 0.6 kW
    television for 12 hours if electrical energy costs
    11.43 pesos per kWh (includes both generation and
    distribution charges - Meralco rate as of May,
    2023)?

    Using equation; E = Pt, where: E = Energy used, P =


    Power, t = Time)
