Qatar General Electricity & Water Corporation (Kahramaa) is all set to celebrate the Fifth Anniversary of the National Programme for Conservation and Energy Efficiency (Tarsheed) at Kahramaa Awareness Park (KAP) on April 24 with the slogan “one promise, one journey’’.
This celebration will be attended by the Prime Minister and Interior Minister, H E Sheikh Abdullah bin Nasser bin Khalifa Al Thani, Minister of Energy and Industry, HE Dr Mohamed bin Saleh Al Sada, Kahramaa’s President, Eng. Essa bin Hilal Al Kuwari, dignitaries, diplomats, high level officials from the government and private sectors and sponsors, media professionals, senior functionaries of Kahramaa, environment champions, school children, stakeholders’ representatives and others.
Kahramaa will announce the official opening of Kahramaa Awareness Park (KAP) and its further strategies, projects and achieved targets for the ongoing programme. Kahramaa, through Tarsheed, aims at rationalising the consumption of water and electricity and intensifying the culture of conservation of vital resources in Qatar. In addition to it, Kahramaa at this grand occasion will felicitate the winners (individuals and corporates) who have been selected under various categories against the entries sought for three competitions being organised by Kahramaa’s Conservation and Energy Efficiency department. During the event, Kahramaa will announce Tarsheed’s new road map to achieve the objectives set out by Qatar National Vision (2030) and extended National Development Strategy.
The programme which was initiated as a National campaign for Efficient Use of Water and Electricity was launched for five years in 2012 on Earth Day which falls every year on April 22.
Kahramaa has joined hands with a number of organizations including schools to give impetus to the programme for its successful implementation across the country. It has also signed 54 of MoUs with various organisations to implement its objectives.
