Campaign Objectives

to spread the use of alternative sources of energy, to emphasise the ecological and economical advantages of using solar energy especially for water heating, to persuade the government of Malta to subsidise the electricity bills of those who buy solar panels, and to remove all forms of taxation on alternative sources of energy.

 

Why should people use Solar Energy?

Because it is ECONOMICAL and ECOLOGICAL.

While we keep on burning fossil fuels that contribute to increase the consumption of the atmosphere, the radiation
from the sun reaching the earth everyday is 15,000 times the entire energy consumed by humankind.

Solar water heating is not only ecological, but also economical.

At today's electricity prices ECO assures that in 7 years whoever invests in a solar water heating device, will save
all the capital expenditure to install and purchase the equipment as a result of savings on electricity bills.

ECO asks the pertinent authorites to exempt solar water heaters from tax, to help households to install solar water
heaters and to actuate the plan that until the year 2005, 5% of electricity generated will be from "renewable
sources of energy".

 This campaign is organised for four years in collaboration with
