  Here’s a number that surprises most facility managers: electricity alone can eat up 40–50% of everything you’ll ever spend running your STP. Not chemicals, not manpower, not the AMC. Just power. And if nobody’s ever shown you the breakdown, there’s a good chance your plant is quietly overspending right now.  What counts as normal STP power consumption? There’s no single number here, because it depends heavily on the technology inside your plant. But industry data gives us a workable range: STP electricity usage in India typically falls between 0.5 and 1.5 kWh per cubic metre (KL) of sewage treated . That’s a wide band, and where you land in it says a lot about how efficient your plant actually is. Here’s roughly what that looks like in real numbers: 10 KLD plant: around 15–20 kWh/day, which works out to roughly ₹2,000–3,500 a month at typical commercial tariffs 50 KLD plant: around 60–90 kWh/day, or about ₹8,000–14,000 a month 100–200 KLD plant : commonly ₹40,000–70,000...
