Electrical Power Source<br />
The simplest source of power is in areas where a national supply and distribution<br />
network is available. However tea estates often install their own generation facilities<br />
for running the plant and other facilities during power shutdown period. Nowadays<br />
most standby generators are driven by diesel engines, producing about 3 kWh per<br />
litre of fuel consumed. To produce one tonne of tea normally requires between 430<br />
and 490 kWh.<br />
