Chief Executive Faisalabad Electric Supply Company (Fesco) Ahmad Saeed Akhtar said the country could not afford wastage of energy in the prevailing circumstances, urging industrialist to come up with practical measures to end energy wastage and reduce cost of doing business.
Addressing a workshop on "Responsible business through energy conservation in textile processing industry" here on Thursday, he said that wide gap between demand and supply of energy has necessitated awareness at all levels for energy sowing. He said that government was already taking measures to discourage wastage of energy while Fesco has constituted an energy conservation cell to give free advice to industrial sector to save precious energy.
He said that energy audit conducted by energy conservation cell has detected wastage of energy up to 15-20 per cent. The main cause of this wastage is due to unskilled electrical staff, poor wiring, old electrical motors and their substandard winding.
He said that this wastage was unnecessary burden on concerned unit and by saving the wastage the energy crisis could be overcome. He said that energy audit of the industrial units was more important for the units exporting their products as it would help them to become competitive and compete with their rival exporting countries.
He urged members of All Pakistan Textile Processing Mills Association (APTPMA)to avail Fesco energy conservation cell free facility. "It would also help control the rising energy bill of the units," he said.
Earlier, Mian Shabbir Ahmad chairman national steering committee of clean production institution (CPI) underlined the importance of energy for industrial development and said that Pakistan was facing acute shortage of energy which was also affecting its industrial production. He urged the industrial units to conduct free energy audit to save precious electricity. CPI Co-ordinator explained the importance of energy conservation through a detailed presentation. The workshop was jointly organised by CPI and APTPMA.
