DOE urges public use of CFL to save energy
“To save energy depends on the way household use electricity because there is no such thing as energy saver gadget,”
The Department of Energy (DOE) urges the public use of CFL to save energy. The wise use of energy and fuel would not only reduce costs on electric bill as well as mitigate climate change. This is according to Director Antonio Labios of DOE Visayas Field Office.
Labios said Visayas experiencing power supply shortage may be due to an economic growth as this corresponds demand of power.
Thus, DOE urges power consumers to change their incandescent bulbs (IBs) to CFL as the latter is more energy efficient which means one pays less for monthly electric bills and save the environment.
The CFL distribution falls under the enhancing energy efficiency and conservation component of the Philippine Energy Efficiency Program (PEEP) as the energy sectors agenda focuses on attaining a sustainable 60 percent energy self-sufficiency level beyond 2010.
A CFL utilized for 1,000 hours per year only consumed around 13kWh, compared to around 60kWh used up by one incandescent bulb utilized for the same period, saving 47kWh per bulb in one year, the agency stated. (PIA/JCT)
