Gold Standard · GS1140 · South Africa
About this project
The objective of the Project Activity is to boost the energy efficiency of South Africa’s residential lighting stock by distributing Compact Fluorescent Lamps (CFLs) free of charge to households across South Africa. The Project Activity aims to distribute up to 1,000,000 CFLs to households in the following provinces: • North West, Kwazulu Natal and Eastern Cape By providing CFLs free of charge to each household via direct installation (all possible CFLs in the household) or by exchange (up to 6 CFLs), the project will abate greenhouse gas emissions, significantly reduce national electricity demand and stress on energy infrastructure, and save individual households money on their electricity bills.
