Abstract :

<p>&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Electrical Energy is an essential requirement to perform each and every kind of activity in the Universe and its&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;div&gt;consumption pattern is in phase with the population and economic growth. The rate of depletion of fuels to generate&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;electricity is the foremost concern to investigate the existing energy usage, consumption pattern and demand, especially&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;in urban areas for efficient utilization of energy. In this respect, the present study is focused on the above said aspect in Mettur Distribution Circle,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;one of the largest industrial town and densely populated city, in the state of Tamil Nadu, India. This study concentrates mainly on electricity&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;consumers of Mettur Distribution Circle. The variations in energy utilization are assessed and the results are discussed. Since the energy demand&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;and environmental deterioration are in rising trend, and the supply is inadequate, it is necessary to execute the energy conservation measures&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;and utilize wisely not only to overcome the energy demand but also to safe guard the quality of life of the people in the region.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;</p>
