Taiwan "Energy Administration": 2012 bans the sale of high-energy incandescent lamps

According to Taiwan media reports, Taiwan's "Ministry of Economic Affairs" has been promoting the "incandescent replacement project" since 2008, and the use of incandescent light bulbs has been reduced year by year. It is also planned that the sales and import of incandescent light bulbs with high energy consumption will be completely banned in 2012. .

According to reports, the "Energy Board" statistics show that the annual sales of incandescent bulbs in the island are about 22 million, and the annual electricity consumption is 1.08 billion kWh. Under the same illuminance requirements, incandescent bulbs consume more than 5 times the power of light bulbs. If we can replace all light bulbs, we can save 800 million kWh of electricity each year, which is equivalent to reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 500,000 tons.

Su Jinsheng, head of the energy technology department of the “Energy Administration” pointed out that the “Ministry of Economic Affairs” has been promoting the “disappearance of incandescent lamps” since 2008, and it is planned to completely disable incandescent light bulbs by 2012.

According to the “Energy Board” statistics, lighting equipment in general commercial buildings accounts for 31% of the electricity consumption. Therefore, the promotion of “disabled incandescent light bulbs” is to prohibit the use of incandescent bulbs of more than 25 watts as general lighting, and significant energy savings can be achieved. Power saving effect.
