WILLEMSTAD - The Fundashon pa Konsumidó has announced that the Curaçao government has taken a significant step to promote energy efficiency. As part of a subsidy plan, import taxes on air conditioners that consume less energy than the average have been abolished.
The plan aims to encourage consumers to choose air conditioners that are more efficient in their energy consumption. By removing import taxes on these devices, the government, according to the Consumer Association, hopes that more residents of Curaçao will opt for more environmentally friendly choices.
The measure is seen by the Fundashon pa Konsumidó as a positive step that not only helps consumers make a more sustainable choice but also benefits them financially.
Eliminating import taxes reduces costs for end-users, making energy-efficient air conditioners a more feasible option for a larger portion of the population.
The foundation encourages consumers to consider this subsidy plan when purchasing new air conditioners and to choose devices that meet the criteria for energy efficiency. This not only contributes to a more sustainable lifestyle but also provides long-term economic benefits through lower energy costs.
