Q.5: What are the benefits of participating in URJA ARPAN?

    Answer: Some of the benefits of participating in URJA ARPAN Program are:

  • Reduced energy costs: The URJA ARPAN Program offers incentives and lucky draw that goes directly to the customers. The total incentive will depend on the amount of energy demand reduced during the events by the residential customers. Further, the monthly electricity bill will be reduced by using electricity judiciously.
  • Social and environmental obligation: URJA ARPAN is a clean, efficient alternative to peaking power plants. By participating in this program you will help us maintain reliable and affordable electricity, hence signifying your social and environmental obligation.
  • Saving Environment: Generation of more electricity to meet peak demand will substantially increase the carbon footprint of the grid. By controlled consumption during peak hours, you will help limit the carbon footprint, hence saving the environment.
  • Lower costs to all customers: Any reduction in peak demand can result in reduced grid and generation investment. Less transmission and generation infrastructure means lower electricity costs for end users.
  • Increased reliability of service: If we can switch off non-essential load or turn on standby generation in response to transmission or generation failures, we can maintain electricity supply to customers' essential services.
  • Benefits: Basis the contribution, residential customers will receive monetary benefits, depending upon their participation (upto Rs.1000/-) and other attractive rewards while Commercial and Industrial customers will be eligible for the rewards under special lucky draw scheme.
