At TIDE we're on a mission to help the citizens save on their electricity bills, reduce their carbon footprint and boost energy efficiency.

In 2015, the World Resources Institute (WRI) and Technology Informatics Design Endeavor (TIDE) joined hands to introduce the VidyutRakshaka (VR) program—a simple yet effective way to encourage energy-efficient behaviour.

Impact

Users enrolled for the VR initiative have reported savings up to 17% for public spaces such as lobby, corridors and parking areas, and up to 23% for residential apartments by adapting to the recommendations
Empowering You to Save :
Drawing from our extensive experience, we've developed a dedicated platform (save.tide-india.org) for Bengaluru consumers. Our online platform (save.tide-india.org) allows consumers to track their electricity usage. Benchmarking their consumption, it generates recommendations for reduction in usage, leading to welcome savings for the family. Recognized Excellence:
In November 2018, TIDE along with WRI India won the Bengaluru Innovation Challenge Award for our proposal to scale VidyutRakshaka for residential consumers in Bengaluru.
Transforming Behavior, Unlocking Savings :
Offering insights into electricity usage patterns, VR helps households rectify inefficient consumption behaviors. Participants who diligently followed VR's recommendations reported a 23 % reduction in their electricity consumption over just 18 months.
The program also tracks consumption in specific neighborhoods within the relevant BHK (Bedroom, Hall, Kitchen) category and provides valuable comparisons with an ideal consumption model.
