Schneider Electric has announced that 2,50,000 citizens have joined the One Unit Mission which is part of its flagship Green Yodha sustainability movement. The One Unit mission, a unique initiative which was launched couple of months back, encourages citizens to save atleast one unit of electricity every day through smarter energy usage.
As India’s energy demand continues to rise, demand-side actions are emerging as a critical lever in accelerating the country’s energy and sustainability transition. Industry estimates suggest that every rupee saved on the demand side, can reduce supply-side investments by a factor of 3, highlighting the role of energy efficiency technologies and solutions in accelerating India’s sustainability ambitions.
Through the ‘One Unit Mission’, Schneider Electric is encouraging citizens to adopt simple energy-saving habits in their everyday lives. The initiative begins with small actions such as switching off unused devices and reducing standby power consumption, encouraging households to adopt energy-efficient technologies, smart power management, and home automation solutions for more efficient energy use.
Rajat Abbi, Vice President – Marketing, Schneider Electric India, said, “The ‘One Unit Mission’ was created with a simple belief that sustainability should feel achievable. Through this campaign, we are encouraging citizens to take small but meaningful steps towards smarter energy use in their daily lives. What is especially encouraging is seeing communities come together and turn individual actions into a larger movement for sustainable living.”
