In India, 194 GW of electricity is still being produced from Thermal Coal out of 358 GW of total electricity produced in June 2019, with consumption of around 630 million tonnes of thermal coal in year 2017-2018. This demand is projected to 735 million tonnes in 2021 -2022 and 877 million tonnes in 2026-2027 ^[1]. This rapid increasing demand will increase the carbon dioxide emission, and it has been estimated that carbon dioxide released after combustion of coal is responsible for over 60% of enhanced greenhouse effect ^[2], and thus global warming.

Global Warming is a combined effect of several reasons in which there are several unidentified reasons which still need to be determined and need to work upon. India being a developing nation has a wide variation in voltage range which we received in cities and villages. Urban and Rural areas in general receive Voltage range of around 260V to 270V, and 140V to 160 V or even lower respectively.

The optimum voltage required in Indian Sub-Continent is 230V in a phase. Lesser or higher from it, result in higher energy consumption. The calculation behind higher electricity bill has already been discussed in our previous blog “Servo Stabilizer and its contribution towards social cause”

Servo Voltage Stabilizer brings your voltage from higher or lower to the optimum range, i.e. 230V±1% thus your electricity bill remains optimal. Thus, it is important to note that by implementing this solution you are not only bringing your electricity bill down, but also you are contributing towards National Clean Air Programme started from 10th January 2019, as 1 Unit of Electricity saved by you shows your effort to prevent around 0.9 kg carbon dioxide emission ^[3].
