Islamic City of Marawi (18 August) -- To help consumers control their electricity demand, the Lanao del Sur Electric Cooperative Inc. (LASURECO) started the distribution of Compact Florescent Lamps (CFL) to their consumers in this city, yesterday, August 17.
Sultan Ashary P. Maongco, General Manager of LASURECO said residential consumers can avail of the free CFL by presenting their electricity bills and exchanging their incandescent bulbs.
The Switch to CFL, he said, is a campaign under the Philippine Energy Efficiency Project (PEEP) being implemented by the Department of Energy (DOE) with the support from the Asian Development Bank.
According to him, the campaign is aimed at reducing energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions.
Maongco further said the distribution is an implementation of the memorandum of agreement (MOA) on use of CFL between the DOE, National Electrification Administration and electric cooperatives from Northern Mindanao, the CARAGA region and province of Lanao del Sur signed last April in Laguindingan, Misamis Oriental.
He added that the MOA on the use of CFL is an energy efficient initiative to reduce peak load power demand.
