Abstract: Electrical Energy has become a one of the vital factor in deciding the total production cost and maintenance cost. Day by day, energy demand keeps rising in the industrial sectors because of this reason it is essential to reduce energy consumption for that energy conservation must need action. Energy Audit is the prime tool for finding the energy conservation oppourtunities. It helps us to make attempts to balance the total energy inputs with its use and serves to identify all the energy flow in a facility. Energy auditing will not only save money but it also improves the quality of electrical energy supply. Energy Conservation and Energy efficiency in industry has to be improved, this is the prime motive for Government of India. This paper shares the experiences of the authors on Electrical Energy Conservation Projects carried out in a Textile Industry situated in Tamilnadu State. We have used Load Manager for the observation of electrical datas during normal working load condition itself. These datas helps us to gain the electrical energy audting experience in the industry
