Dear Editor,
GPL’s timely intervention to get people to conserve electricity in these blackout and energy hungry times should be a reminder to Guyanese that we import electricity in the form of fuel, generating equipment, cabling, skilled workers and other items necessary for the generation of electricity.
As well as what GPL highlights that customers should do I urge that people should replace the light bulbs in the two main areas that lights are used. These are normally the livingroom/dining room and the kitchen. Replacing the normal incandescent light bulbs with energy saving light bulbs that use about 1/5 of the energy that a normal light bulb uses to provide the same amount of light will result in some savings on the electricity bills.
Changing the fridge settings to “medium” as opposed to “high” will also save money.
Yours faithfully,
Sean Brignandan
