Eskom CFL roll out
Objectives of CFL roll out• Door to door exchange of 4.2 million energy
saving CFL’s for incandescent bulbs to reach a saving of approx 130MW
• Areas covered include: Polokwane, Molemole, Greater Tzaneen, and Greater Letaba, Thulamela, Makhado, Mogalakwena, Aganang, Lepele-Nkumpi, Fetakgomo, Makhuduthamaga
Strategy to roll out CFL’s
• Inform residents that CFL's will be distributed FREE OF CHARGE to their households• Communicate the rollout plan as well the requirements to participate• Market the advantages of CFL’s to improve acceptance rate• Encourage residents to allow installation contractors to enter their homes in order to exchange • Alert residents to security and identity aspects of roll out• Stress participation is voluntary. • Support ESCos(energy services companies), pre, during and after areas have been targeted.
