**Switch off air-conditioners wherever and whenever possible**
**Keep your AC temperature at moderate level (24 – 27 °C), Instead of 18 °C**
**Switch off street lights**

**Use private generators where they are available**
**Change to LED bulbs**

**Use energy saving appliances or devices**
**Switch off all electrical outlets when not in use**
