The Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) is urging Kenyans to consider energy efficiency when purchasing household appliances by checking some of the aspects of the commodities.

By selecting devices with higher energy efficiency ratings, consumers can significantly reduce their electricity consumption and associated costs.

According to EPRA, customers can check the energy efficiency labels, typically green and white, affixed to various appliances, including refrigerators, air conditioners, and fluorescent lamps, before purchasing them.

These labels feature a star rating system ranging from one to five stars; more stars indicate greater energy efficiency.
