United for Efficiency supports Peruvian regulators and regional bodies to advance policies, strategies and actions for the phase-out of inefficient lighting. Emphasis is on an integrated policy approach so that a transition can be sustained by the domestic market without continued external support or resources.
Energy-Efficient Lighting will Save Peru Annually:
1 TWh of electricity,
equivalent to 2 powerplants (100 MW)
nearly 160 million US$
in reduced electricity bills
350 thousand tonnes of
c02 emissions, equivalent
to taking over 180 million
passenger cars off the road
Status
