FESCO region: Electricity conservation campaign launched

Business Recorder reported that Faisalabad Electric Supply Company (FESCO) has rolled out a broad electricity conservation drive covering every district in its service area. The initiative was ordered by FESCO's chief executive, Engr Muhammad Aamer, and is designed to push consumers toward careful, efficient use while curbing waste and needless consumption.

According to the CEO, saving power is a shared national duty, and small everyday changes by many households and businesses could add up to meaningful savings. Electricity freed up this way would be available for other users, including hospitals, which need it urgently. He stressed that the aim is not to stop people using power but to use it only when needed, which could also lower their bills.

Consumers were asked to switch off unused lights, fans and appliances, rely on daylight where possible, move to LED bulbs, and avoid standby mode. Consumers were also asked to hold back on use during the 6:00pm to 11:00pm peak hours, agricultural users were asked to avoid running tube wells in the evening, and all users were urged to stay within their sanctioned load. A FESCO spokesman said that saving even a few units daily across millions of consumers could ease pressure on the distribution network and help the utility supply more customers.
