LocationsLeapfrogging South Africa’s markets to high-efficiency LED lighting and high-efficiency distribution transformers
The Leapfrogging South Africa’s markets to high-efficiency LED lighting and high-efficiency distribution transformers project is designed to advance the country’s transition towards a low-carbon economy through the adoption of high-energy efficiency technology. The project aims to achieve this energy efficiency potential and curtail consumption of (coal-fired) electricity and associated global environmental impact from appliances and equipment. The transition to an economy using high-efficiency lighting and distribution transformers is hindered by the persistence of barriers and challenges that limit the market penetration of high-efficiency lighting and distribution transformers.
Expand the availability of high-quality household appliances (specifically high-efficiency lighting), high-efficiency distribution transformers, as well as open, accurate market information via national standards, product labelling, testing and certification, and promotional outreach.
