The Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) is planning to enter into an agreement with Andhra Pradesh State Energy Efficiency Development Corporation Limited (APSEEDCO), a joint venture of the power utilities in the State, for replacement of 5,000 ceiling fans in the TTD buildings with Brushless Direct Current (BLDC) fans in the first phase.
The move will save the temple trust board around 0.88 million units of electricity per annum, a monetary saving of ₹62 lakh and a payback of just two years and two months for the investments.
In a webinar, that was attended by the officials of the TTD and the Energy Department, temple trust board Executive Officer K.S. Jawahar Reddy said the initiative would encourage others to explore eco-friendly solutions.
