dc.description.abstract | Energy is an essential factor in production and socio-economic growth and its availability in sufficient quantity is central to all developmental activities. As a result of this, there is need for prudent management of available electrical power. This paper looks at various ways by which electrical energy is being wasted and the cost implication as a result of this wastage is estimated. Suggestions on how to minimize wastage are provided thus reducing unnecessary expenses. The research conducted at a Government Secondary School, Minna compound shows that the average energy wasted per month is 5272.5 KWh or 10.17% of the total energy supplied to the school is wasted. This is roughly 9.58% of the average monthly bill for the energy consumed (i.e. ₦44, 814.125). This quantity of energy will go a long way to improve the socio-economic standard of life of some families by providing lightning to homes and small industries that require moderate amount of energy. | en_US |
