The Ministry of Energy (Sener) announced that beginning on January 1 of this
year incandescent bulbs of 40 watts or more, which virtually dominated the
domestic lighting market since the beginning of the last century, will not be
sold.
The Secretariat of Sener through a press release said: “The National Commission for the Efficient Use of Energy believes that implementation of this [law] represents an annual reduction of electricity consumption of nearly one billion kilowatt hours, which will mean a saving of one billion pesos to households and nearly two billion pesos in subsidies and reduce the emission of greenhouse gases by 500 thousand tons of CO2 (carbon dioxide) equivalent per year.
He noted that the new rules were developed taking into consideration the existence in the market place of lamps of new technologies, which are more efficient and durable and that justifies their cost because of the economic benefit the user will see through life of the newer light bulbs.
Pedro Joaquín Coldwell, Secretary of Energy, said, “These new technologies are: Incandescent lamps with halogen, compact fluorescent ballasted (LFCA) and light emitting diodes (LED). While these products have a higher price than traditional incandescent bulbs, their energy consumption is much lower and with a longer life, which represents benefits to users.”
