In keeping with the nation’s Green State Development Strategy, the Guyana Energy Agency (GEA) has commenced the distribution of energy efficient lights to 500 vulnerable households.
According to a GEA press release yesterday, this activity is being executed under the second phase of the Latin America and the Caribbean Energy Efficiency Programme (PALCEE) supported by the Austrian Development Cooperation and the Latin American Energy Organisation (OLADE).
The programme which began in May 2019 and concludes in December 2019, entails the distribution of a total of 2,000 energy efficient LED lights in the residential sector, specifically targeting the distribution and installation at low income areas and to beneficiaries from a vulnerable social group to demonstrate its derived socio-economic and environmental benefits.
