Ghana: Replace all energy consuming bulbs

The Energy Commission has recommended the replacement of six million incandescent lamps with contact fluorescent lamps throughout the country as a measure to conserve energy and help save the nation from the current energy crisis.

The worsening energy situation in the country has necessitated a national commitment to conserve energy in order to save the Akosombo Dam from total collapse.
Mr Ahenkora said it was unfortunate that many people did not seem to appreciate the problem and so left their electrical gadgets on even when their use was not needed.

“The Golden Rule is to switch off when you don’t need light,” he remarked, adding that if everyone complied with that rule, there would not be the need to shut down the Akosombo Dam.
