From Eskom website:
Energy efficiency = a healthier atmosphere for all
In South Africa most electricity is generated by coal-fired power stations. Although everything technically possible is done to reduce emissions into the atmosphere, greenhouse and other gases are still released into the air. Efficient use of electricity reduces these emissions, promotes sustainable use of energy resources and brings down electricity costs.
In simple terms, every kilowatt-hour of electricity saved means that one less kilogram of carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere. The result is better quality of life for all.
Nceba Phike, “I question Eskom DSM’s commitment in lighting efficient innovation. Why South Africa must always lag behind other developing and developed countries?” LED tubes were employed in Europe for the last 5 years, initiated by likes of Osram, and other light bulb manufactures. And they were overtaken by Japan and China in technology innovation and quality.
Property owners and facility managers rely on what their existing light product suppliers says. Even if they insist on obsolete compact and linear fluorescent bulbs.
However, I believe, if the market (especial consumers) can be educated – they would make better decision and retrofit quality, efficient LED tubes and LED down lighters.
I wish, companies who signed the Energy efficient Accord would learn more from leading efficient countries, before invest on already outdated light bulbs – Our LED tubes here be here for the next century. Let me say, we will give the lowest price possible, since we have no large overheads.
