Qatar to phase out incandescent bulbs
- Qatar: Sunday, December 16 - 2012 at 01:23
Qatar General Electricity & Water Corp (Kahramaa) has announced a plan to gradually ban electricity bulbs of 100, 75 and 60 watts and allow the use of bulbs only of 40 watt for a while to save electricity, the Peninsula has reported. According to the plan, bulbs of 100 and 75 watt will be banned first. In the second phase, bulbs of 60 watt will be phased out and in the third phase 40-watt bulbs will be done away with and only electricity-efficient Compact Fluorescent Lamps (CFLs) will be permitted to be used. "Kahramaa has set plans to reduce consumption by 20% for electricity and 35% for water within the next five years, by raising awareness, creating community partnership and rationalising consumption," said Kahramaa official, Ali Mohammed Al Ali.
