We are working together with those who deal in the used refrigerators to swicth to the importation of new refrigerators” he said.Ghana is signatory to the Montreal protocol against the use of CFC refrigerators and the Energy Commission is working closely with the Environmental Protection Agency to implement the policy.
He also disclosed Bosch’s plans to first offer products for sale and gradually expand its presence in the country.“Just last week we met with them and they have submitted a series of proposals which we are considering.
