Economy of any country is dependent upon its Power Consumption. Hence, a large amount of power is required to make India a self reliant economic power. In India there is a huge gap between the Power generated and the Power required. It is not possible to realize this gap by increasing the installed capacity, as the resources are limited and also due to economic constraints. So, the energy being generated should be conserved to the utmost. In this paper, the responsibility and the areas of the power sector in conserving the Energy being produced have been discussed in detail. This would definitely lead to marginalizing the gap between demand and supply
