The government, in the next two weeks, will launch its energy efficiency and conservation programme, aimed at saving more that $2 billion per year in energy costs.
This was announced by Minister of Science, Technology, Energy and Mining, Hon. Phillip Paulwell on April 19, 2012 as he addressed the opening of the Jamaica Power Summit 2012 at the Jamaica Pegasus Hotel in New Kingston.
To be financed by the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), Mr. Paulwell said the programme objective will be realised through the design and implementation of cost saving measures.
