how to utilize energy efficiently

Hi friends do u know  the healthy power system symptoms:
1)voltage profile (0.95pu TO 1.05pu),i.e 5% variations
2)frequency profile(0.975pu TO 1.025pu),i.e 2.5% variations
Note:pu-per unit
But in India almost power lines operates at 0.78-0.8 pu, even some time 0.7pu also
But the Transco, disco officers says that it’s also healthy
Govt. working timings for Transco, genco, etc. are 9am-5.30pm, but they limited to 11am-3.30pm, then how could we get 0.95pu voltage healthy condition????
Because of the reason the generators never gives 100% output, I mean 100Kw generator gives only 80Kw only.
I practically recheck myself in my village and my house I got 215volts instead of 230v, even my house load is located nearer to transformer.i.e voltage drop of line almost negligible. And some time it may be 205 also. Then what’s the appearing voltage to the houses which are connected at end I don’t know.
Yemundile bayya idhanta common ani anokovadhu friend, due this effect we our houses takes higher current to makes power balance P=↓V*i↑,i.e high unit consumption ,higher current bills(TARIFF) even lesser loads

So what we supposed to do
1. Reduce load as low as possible. I mean ON the loads what u really want, if u do so, you are the one reducing current bill&&same time u r saving power to future generation.
2. Use heavy loads in home like grinders, mixes, and heaters at 2-φ power given to villages. Because at that time u get around 220 v, at time of 3-φ power fed, due to running of all agriculture motors, we get 205v at terminal, it makes higher current required to run load.
3. Replace your old lights by LED(light emitting diode bulbs) or CFL(compact fluorescent lamps).
It illuminates 60W normal bulb lighting with 9W CFL&&6W LED. See how much we can save.
4. Replace CRT TV’s by LED or LCD screens, use energy efficient motors, utilize solar energy for cooking ,heater’s ,power supply’s
5. Try to maintain proper earth at transformer of your village, by pouring some salt water.
6. try to use solar cell based ups to share your load. An especially village persons, why can’t we fill our roof’s with solar panels.
