NICOSIA (Reuters) – Cyprus will distribute thousands of free energy saving lightbulbs to households to knock down its energy consumption by the end of the decade, officials said on Tuesday.
”It is part of a five year plan aiming at an energy conservation of 1.0 percent yearly on energy consumption and reaching a total of 5.0 percent until the end of 2010,” Cypriot Commerce and Industry Minister Antonis Michaelides said.
The project is costing 1.88 million Cyprus pounds ($4.4 million).
