How to pay very little for the electricity consumed at the office or at home

The decrease in the budget allocated to the payment of the consumed electricity can be obtained with investments in renewable technologies and in devices with high energy efficiency

Investing in the purchase and installation of photovoltaic panels is a long-term investment. Even if it seems a bit high at first, in the long run the profit is guaranteed. The decrease in the budget allocated for electricity bills, at a time when electricity consumers have multiplied and have an active duration in continuous growth, contributes in the first phase to the amortization of the investment and then to the constant increase in profit.

The evolution towards a technological lifestyle based on the excessive use of electronic devices has led to an increase in the demand for electricity. This phenomenon is known as “increased electricity consumption” or “increased energy demand“. Causes of increased electricity consumption may include:

• technological development: A wide range of technologies, from personal devices to industrial infrastructure, require electricity to operate. An increase in the number and complexity of these technologies can lead to an increase in electricity consumption.
• economic growth: In general, a growing economy means that there are more businesses and consumers using more electricity to power their operations and activities.
• lifestyle change: people spend more time in air-conditioned spaces, use more electronic devices, household appliances and other equipment that require electricity. Also, increased mobility can lead to greater use of electric vehicles.
• urbanization: Population growth in urban areas often leads to increased demand for electricity to power homes, commercial buildings, transportation systems, and public services.
• TV and online entertainment: Streaming services, online entertainment platforms and video games require connections and electronic devices that use electricity.
• industrialization and commercialization: Industries and businesses use electricity for manufacturing, lighting, cooling, and many other operations.
• improving living standards: People are looking for more comfort and modern conveniences, which may involve using more devices and technologies that consume electricity.

The financial success of many companies and organizations today is increasingly tied to the adoption and implementation of renewable energy sources and energy efficiency practices. They are beneficial from an environmental point of view, but also a strategic financial solution for businesses, local governments and families. Passing on existing technological opportunities for fear of high electricity bills only postpones the inevitable. The solution consists in choosing equipment with maximum energy efficiency and adopting solutions that eliminate the burden of electricity bills.

Initial investments in renewable technologies and energy efficiency measures may seem large, but in the long term they can lead to significant savings in energy bills – savings that can be used for other investments, in the case of economic agents, or for education and health, in the case of families. Each person’s time is extremely valuable. It can be protected with the help of technology. But the technology requires electricity. What do we choose? Are we giving up some equipment for fear of the price of electricity consumed? Or are we looking for solutions to continue using them but at a low price? We chose the second option.
