Electricity Conservation
National Electricity Conservation Program known as PROCEL was launched in1985.
Under the aegis of PROCEL, electricity savings resulted mainly from:(1) increasing the energy efficiency of refrigerators and freezers
through testing, labeling, and voluntary agreements withmanufacturers.(2) increasing the efficiency of motors through testing, labeling, and
R&D projects(3) increasing the market for energy-efficient lighting technologies such
as high-pressure sodium and compact fluorescent lamps(4) reducing electricity waste in industry through audits, workshops,
and information dissemination; and(5) installing meters in previously unmetered households
