Saving Energy - Government Leading the Way

Presidential Instruction No. 10 of 2005 on Energy Efficiency (the “Instruction”) stipulates that government institutions must be pro- active in ensuring the most efficient use of energy supplies in the performance of their daily activities.

The Instruction will require government offices, agencies, business enterprises to be ore efficient in the use of air conditioners, office equipment, electricity, and office transportation facilities. However, the responsibility of socializing this energy efficiency drive within the community falls to Governors, Regents, and Mayors of the relevant local areas. Although the socialization mechanism is not explicitly stated it is expected that it will focus primarily on the need to ensure and secure long-term energy supplies through the better management of energy use at all levels both professional and personal.
