General Electricity and Water Corporation (Kahramaa) has launched awareness programmes to increase energy efficiency and reduce consumption of electricity and water during Ramadan.

The programmes come within the Conservation and Energy Efficiency Department’s activities to achieve Tarsheed objectives.

Tarsheed has succeeded in reducing per capita consumption of electricity by 14 percent and water by 17 percent until November 2015 and aims at reducing consumption of electricity by 20 percent and water by 35 percent in future.

As for awareness, Kahramaa has launched a comprehensive campaign to reach out to all communities. Awareness stickers in different languages have been posted in mosques to promote electricity and water conservation. There are also campaigns at malls.

The ‘Less Is Blessed’ campaign at Lulu Hypermarket has displayed awareness messages to educate shoppers to reduce water and electricity consumption.

Kahramaa has also launched a social media campaign and ‘Ramadan Conservation Challenge’. contest. Two winners will be chosen daily from those who send correct answers to questions.
