Existing ceiling fans and air-conditioner to be replaced with five-star appliances
The Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) is embarking on a major energy efficiency drive to save 8.68 Million Units (MU) per annum by replacing the existing ceiling fans and air-conditioners with five-star rated equipment.
As per an action plan drawn on the basis of a preliminary audit conducted by the A.P. State Energy Conservation Mission (SECM), the TTD is preparing to install energy-efficient appliances on a large-scale.
According to official sources, the TTD consumes 68 MU per annum for lighting, cooking and other needs, and pays approximately ₹40 crore towards electricity charges as per applicable tariff.
