• Has embarked on a programme to install about 15,000 home solar photovoltaic systems primarily in hinterland communities.
• Continues to encourage the development of renewable energy by removing duties and taxes on renewable energy equipment and energy efficient compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) and light emitting diode (LED) lights.
• Is in the process of conducting energy assessments/audits of public, residential and commercial buildings with the objective of reducing energy consumption and attaining higher levels of energy efficiency.
• Will continue to promote awareness and disseminate information on sustainable energy
