CFL Replacement Programme of Activities in South Africa
Gold Standard · GS1141 · South Africa
About this project
The Programme of Activities (PoA) will consist of a series of projects (CPAs) implemented nationally by Energy Service Companies (ESCOs) under the direction of Eskom Holdings Limited, whom will act as the Coordinating/Managing Entity (CME). The PoA will provide energy efficient light bulbs, in the form of compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs), to replace incandescent lamps (ICLs) or failed CFLs from previous Eskom campaigns in residential properties. 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 programme will abate greenhouse gas emissions, significantly reduce national electricity demand and stress on energy infrastructure, and save individual households money on their electricity bills.
