Grant Description

Ghana Power Compact - Energy Efficiency & Demand Side Management Project - Education and Public Information Activity: Informed consumers allow markets to function more efficiently and effectively.

Public education and information activities help ensure that consumers are fully informed regarding the benefit and trade-offs of higher efficiency appliances and equipment.

This Activity potentially includes direct public education interventions targeting high energy peak load consumers and developing an energy efficiency component to integrate into the current school curriculum.

Initial pilot tests and evaluation activities will allow testing of key assumptions regarding the role of information in energy efficiency adoption for the Ghanaian market.
