Addressing the press after the training, Samuel Frimpong, the Accra Public Affairs Senior Officer at the Energy Commission, cautioned facility owners to engage certified electricians in their electrical wiring process to prevent fire outbreaks.
Mr. Samuel Frimpong explained that the awareness creation on energy efficiency, electrical wiring guidelines, and energy conservation forms parts of the commission’s core mandates.
He indicated that the commission remained focus on helping Ghanaians reduce their power consumption and save money. Mr. Samuel Frimpong urged the importers, dealers, and energy consumers to look out for the yellow label by the commission when buying electrical gadgets.
Mr. Samuel Frimpong disclosed that they will extend their education to marketplaces, churches, mosques, lorry stations, and other places in the Eastern region.
