Friends,

y it is always asked to save electrical energy by wisely using electricity? can these energy be stored if we consume less power?what are all the effects on generating stations if the consumption is less?

Two things here 1) the less energy you use the fewer generators required

2) You the customer benefit from lower bills. The tree huggers get a warm glow all over.

Yes, the energy potential in non-renewable resources is stored in the resource until it is used. The higher the rate of utilization the quicker the resource is exhausted. This logic also applies to the generating machinery and the means of delivering the energy to consumers.

If a power resource is renewable then there is no energy potential "savings" advantage, but the savings are again to the generation and transmission mechanisms.

Renewable energy sources can be used to "recreate" potential by, for instance, pumping the resource back up into a reservoir during periods of low consumer demand (like at night) thus keeping the generation system operating steadily.

FWI "tree huggers" are people whose lives and livelihood are affected by power generation projects which sacrifice indigenous people and resources to the non-local demands for electricity. The original group were women of India whose lives depended on a tree species slated for inundation under an electrical scheme. Serious business.

Yes,you are right energy cannot be stored but already a problem of load shedding in most of the countries.If you consume less energy you will charged less money as a customer,secondly load shedding problem will not occur
