United for Efficiency supports Côte d’Ivoire’s regulators and regional bodies to advance policies, strategies and actions for the phase-out of inefficient lighting, appliances and equipment. 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, appliances and equipment could save Côte d’Ivoire annually:
1 TWH OF ELECTRICITY
equivalent to 2 power plants (100 MW)
84 MILLION US$
in reduced electricity bills
ALMOST 770 THOUSAND TONNES OF
CO2 EMISSIONS, equivalent
to taking over almost 450 thousand
passenger cars off the road
