The steel plant registered specific energy consumption of 6.868 giga calories per tonne of Crude Steel (TCS), which is the lowest ever since inception, RSP sources said.
The previous best was 6.8702 G cal/TCS in 2010-11.
Energy conservation measures taken up by the Energy Management Department in RSP have yielded a saving of 3.3 per cent over the period of four years from 7.0948 G Cal/TCS in 2008-09 to 6.8602 G Cal/TCS in 2011-12.
This has resulted in a financial savings of about Rs 108 crore at the present cost of energy, they said.
