“Energy conservation, efficient use of energy, and the promotion of renewable energy sources are vital for the country to realize its goal of emerging as an energy independent country during the next 25 years,” she said.

“The energy conservation must begin at our homes and then the country will automatically avoid lot of energy consumption that is resulting in global warming and the fast depletion of natural resources,” she added.
The Governor pointed out that the need to promote alternate energy production and its use in order to reduce the dependency on fossil fuels. “Efficient use of energy and its conservation assumes greater importance. One unit of energy saved at the consumption level reduces the need for fresh capacity creation by nearly two times,” she said.

She appreciated the efforts of the State government in the power sector and its initiative to promote greenery through Haritha Haram. She asked the TSREDCO to intensify its efforts in promoting renewable energy in a bigger way.
