GOVERNMENTAL
SECTOR
The governmental sector is one
of the notably growing sectors. As this sector accompanies various growth
developments, it is already witnessed in the country and will ultimately double
the volume of energy consumption.
Optimal use of electric power in
governmental sector :
- Establish a specialized
unit to monitor the loads and the application of methods to raise the
efficiency of the use of electric
power.
- Carry out a review of the guidelines
for the optimal use of air conditioning, lighting, and insulation as per the
leaflets issued by the Company.
- Change work pattern and shift
the electric load to out of peak time (1 pm – 5 pm).
- Use of
spare generator for electric feed during peak time in coordination with the
Company.
- Carry
out periodic maintenance during summer season.
- Use of
the auto control system for air conditioning loads and separate it from other
loads.
- Use of
high efficiency machinery and replacement of the old with new ones of high
specifications.
- Improve
the power factor (not less than 0.9) to reduce losses and make full use of
machinery.
- Limit
production during summer and increase it during winter.
- Teach the
workers about the importance and the various methods to conserve electricity.
- Participate
in the time-varied tariff program (free of charge) to help reduce loads and lower
energy bill.
