REPLACEMENT
OF INCANDESCENT BULBS
|

Label for Room Air Conditioners |
The
Government of Ghana in its effort to conserve and improve energy efficiency is
distributing six million pieces of compact fluorescent lamps to replace an
equivalent number of incandescent bulbs throughout Ghana, starting with Burma
Camp. So far 68,000 pieces of Compact Fluorescent Lamps of various wattages
have been deposited at Burma to initiate the replacements at the Military and
Paramilitary establishments. This forms part of the Government’s measures to
address the current electricity supply shortfall and its attendant power rationing.
The
project seeks to replace existing 5 million pieces of incandescent bulbs of
various wattages from 40W to 100W that consume a total of about 581GWH of
electricity per annum with 6million pieces of Compact Fluorescent lamps of
various wattages 9W -20W that will consume a total of about 151.475GWH of
electricity annually.
This
will save approximately124.2MW in peak demand (207MW peak demand at a load
factor of 60%), 429,525MWH of electricity annually and save about 150,000tCO2
per annum.The project is being coordinated by the Energy Foundation and the
Energy Commission.
