8-10% of the total electricity used in your home is due to appliances left on standby.
Your standby button is an energy-eating monster; some appliances still use 25% of their normal power in standby mode.
Although your TV screen may look dormant, it’s actually using energy at an alarming rate behind that innocent-looking façade. Recent studies have shown that gadgets left on standby are responsible for 4m tonnes of excess carbon dioxide each year.
It’s also estimated that a typical household could save at least 555,000 IDR per year on electricity bills if they always fully switched home appliances off rather than leaving them on standby.
Why don’t start by switching off your appliances now? You’ll be saving energy, money and cutting your carbon emissions.
