VECO to put up energy conservation infographics

CEBU, Philippines - The country’s second largest power distributor, Visayan Electric Company, will be tapping shopping malls and companies to put up infographics on how to save electricity.

VECO spokesperson Theresa Sederiosa said that the infographics will be posted in strategic areas at the mall especially on empty walls.

Sederiosa, who is also the company’s reputation management manager, said that these infographics will also contain data on appliances wattage and the equivalent amount.

“For example, among ibutang sa infographics kung pila ka wattage ang magamit sa kani nga appliance ug pila ang mabayran,” Sederiosa explained.

Aside from letting the public know how to conserve electricity, they should also be educated on how much electricity they are wasting.

“Dapat the public should know also how much electricity they are wasting which we will also put in our infographics,” Sederiosa added.

Sederiosa said electricity consumption is expected to rise this summer.

“Electricity rate is expected to increase by P0.30 to P0.35 per kilowatt hour by May and it will be reflected in the June billing cycle,” Sederiosa said.

She said even if electricity rate will increase by that month, power consumers still have an option to conserve energy and eliminate, if not minimize, its wastage.

“Bisan pa mosaka ang presyo sa kuryente, kung gamay ra ang imong kunsumo, gamay ra gihapon ang imong bayranan,” she said.—(FREEMAN)
