If we do not save electricity, more will have to be produced. Producing electricity in power stations mostly uses up some kinds of the Earth's Natural Resources which would take it many millions of years to replace - or some of which, maybe, it will never be able to replace - for example crude oil and coal. So not saving electricity uses up more of those resources than is really necessary, which will make them run out faster.

On the other hand, if people use electricity that is produced from so-called "sustainable" sources - for example from fast-growing woodland timber, solar panels, wind powered turbines or nuclear power stations - not saving electricity means that other people who have to use electricity from those same sources will not be able to get their fair share of the limited amount that is available.

If no-one bothers to save electricity, which is the same as not bothering to avoid wasting it, that will cause a shortage of supply. To overcome that problem, supplies of electricity would always have to be rationed so that everyone can get the minimum amounts that they need.

Another reason to avoid wasting electricity

You have to pay for all the electricity you use so, if, for instance, you leave televisions, heaters or lights switched on when no-one is actually using them, you will be using more electricity than you really need and you will be wasting your money in having to pay for it.
