Guanajuato/Gto News
In recent weeks, situations have been experienced that have unfortunately caused intermittent outages in the electrical service in different parts of the country, and Guanajuato has not been the exception.
This is done as a precaution, due to the overdemand for electrical energy, which caused the National Energy Control Center -CENACE- to decree an Emergency Operational State in the National Electrical System.
From the Government of Guanajuato, through the Secretary of Environment and Territorial Planning -SMAOT-, we share some actions that you can implement from home for the efficient and conscious use of electrical energy.
Increase your energy efficiency in your daily activities.
In the kitchen
Take the food you are going to prepare out of the refrigerator in advance; this will make it easier to cook and heat.
Turn off the oven 5 or 10 minutes before the dish is ready. Take advantage of the remaining heat to complete the cooking.
Do not store hot food in the refrigerator, as this forces the equipment to work harder to maintain a low temperature.
Unplug kitchen appliances when not in use. Some devices consume electricity even when turned off.
Save energy with your laundry
Reduce the frequency of washing. Make the most of your washing machine’s capacity by washing full loads.
After washing clothes, the most efficient way to dry them is outdoors or under the sun, plus this eliminates bacteria; make sure the wash cycle is set to cold water; Take advantage of the washing machine’s spin cycle to remove as much water as possible.
Use of water at home
Your house can take advantage of the place where it is located, since the use of solar water heaters in Mexico is increasingly common due to climatic and geographical conditions, which place it among the places with the highest average solar radiation per year in the world.
Save energy when lighting spaces in the home
Remember to turn off the lights when leaving a room and when the space is not in use.
Replace conventional bulbs (Incandescent, fluorescent) with LED bulbs, this will allow a reduction in power consumption of up to 80% per bulb.
Use natural lighting with existing windows and/or skylights.
Save energy in air conditioning
Provide adequate maintenance to the equipment according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Use light paint colors with thermal properties on ceilings and walls.
Before using the fan or air conditioner, naturally cool the space by opening windows and doors.
After cooling a room, turn off the air conditioning and use fans to recirculate the cold air.
Make sure to keep air conditioners and fans off in unoccupied areas.
Keep your home naturally cool with awnings, shades, vegetation and trees on facades and roofs.
Common electronics
Unplug devices when not in use,
If you use power regulators, it is important to turn them off if they are not being used.
Acquire efficient equipment for entertainment or work, computer equipment, TV screens, radios.
