New Delhi, March 26 Delhi's power distribution companies have urged residents to participate in Earth Hour on Saturday by switching off non-essential electrical appliances between 8:30 pm and 9:30 pm to promote a sustainable environment.
BSES distribution companies – BRPL and BYPL – have joined the event promoted by WWF-India.
This year's initiative is themed "Give an Hour for Earth," calling on citizens to dedicate one hour to the planet and inspire lasting change.
"As a proud partner of WWF-India, BSES has urged its approximately 54 lakh consumers and 2.25 crore residents across South, West, East, and Central Delhi to participate in this global movement," the distribution company said in a statement.
Last year, Delhi saved 269 MW during Earth Hour.
From homes and markets to offices and public spaces, the city will unite in switching off non-essential lights and appliances during this hour, in a collective act that emphasizes a shared commitment to sustainability.
Earth Hour 2026 also marks two decades of a movement that has grown from a symbolic switch-off in Sydney in 2007 into a defining global call for climate action across more than 190 countries.
BSES plans to switch off non-essential lighting in over 400 offices covering approximately 900 square kilometers during the designated hour.
