Department of energy Launches Next Phase of of its Energy Efficiency Initiative

The Montserrat Energy Department is about to launch the next phase of its Efficient Energy initiative.

According to a press release the department will be distributing 250 Plug-In Meter Readers.

This is part of a collaborative effort with the CARILEC

Resiliency and Energy Efficiency Project (CAREEP) and the Ministry of Communication, Works, Labour, and

Energy (MCWLE).

The initiative aims to empower residents to understand and reduce their energy consumption, contributing to wider regional energy efficiency endeavors.

These free Plug-In Meter Readers are available for distribution at the MCWLE Energy Department Office.

Residents can acquire them conveniently when exchanging their old light bulbs for more energy-efficient

alternatives.

The Plug-In Meter Reader is specifically designed to offer insights into the energy consumption of 110 Volt appliances like TVs, washing machines, fridges, and computers.

Residents are encouraged to utilize this tool actively, monitoring their energy usage and implementing measures to reduce consumption, thereby fostering

heightened awareness.

Additional guidance and learning materials on how to implement energy saving measures and energy self-audits in households are provided at careep.carilec.org.

The Energy Department invites residents to engage in the Caribbean Household Survey, a brief 5-minute questionnaire linked to the meter reader initiative.

The survey, accessible here (CAREEP Household Survey), plays a pivotal role in amassing valuable data for regional energy efficiency projects.

This initiative is supported by the Resilience, Sustainable Energy, and Marine Biodiversity (RESEMBID)

Programme.
