Algerian energy company SONELGAZ has announced a simple method for consumers to reduce their electricity bills. The advice centers around eliminating “phantom load” – the energy consumed by devices even when switched off but still plugged in. Examples include televisions, phone chargers, and set-top boxes left in standby mode. SONELGAZ suggests unplugging these devices when not in use to minimize this hidden energy drain. The utility claims consumers could potentially reduce their electricity consumption by up to 10% by implementing this practice. This initiative aims to promote energy conservation and help customers lower their expenses. Further details were not provided in the initial announcement.
