The efforts of Club Enerji are now reaping great rewards with the success of saving a million units of electricity! We would like to thank our partners, students, principals, teachers and parents in helping us achieve this milestone.”

Igniting young minds on resource conservation, Tata Power aims atproviding a platform for all communities in the society to share and expand their understanding and bringing about a chain-reaction that can significantly reduce wastage of energy in the country. The programme consists of four phases - 'educate, enhance, engage, and empower.' More than 400 enthusiastic schools are currently members and have pledged their continuing commitment to this cause.

Tata Power's energy conservation programme introduced in more than 200 schools in the city, aims at creating maximum impact by educating and creating awareness amongst people on effective management and conservation of energy in our everyday life. Club Enerji also encourages students to form their own mini clubs in their schools and societies to reach out to more citizens. The club members have collectively saved 8.7million units of electricity and sensitised more than 5.2 million citizens across the nation. This is equivalent to saving 8,700 tonnes of CO2 and is enough to light up approximately 4,090 houses for a year. Tata Power has added a feather to its cap by organisingan Energy-Q championship to honour the young minds on their energy quotient.
