The Energy Regulatory Commission has started a drive against building owners who are yet to install solar water heaters on their buildings. The deadline for mounting the heaters, which was extended after property developers cried foul over a short notice got over on November 25th last year . It was extended for another six months but that deadline too lapsed on May 25, 2017 before .
“The commission is currently carrying out surveillance visits on buildings under construction and random spot checks on premises to ensure compliance with the regulations,” ERC said in a statement.
“The public can send the text message “staff <space> ID no. of the person inspecting” to 0707667623….report any incidences on our hotline number 0708444000 or report to the police,” ERC added. ERC has denied extending the deadline again this time.
