Delhi residents collectively saved 206 MW of electricity on Saturday night by turning off non-essential lights and appliances during the ‘Earth Hour’, according to discom officials.
The consumers of BSES discoms accounted for 130 MW of the total savings during the Earth Hour from 8:30 pm to 9:30 pm, a spokesperson from BSES stated.
“Delhi’s total savings were 206 MW, compared to 279 MW last year,” discom officials noted.
Tata Power-DDL discom consumers contributed by saving 71 MW during Earth Hour 2024, participating in the World Wide Fund (WWF) initiative, a company spokesperson reported.
