The Public Utilities Regulatory Commission (PURC) Ashanti Regional Office has taken a significant step towards promoting responsible consumption of electricity and water among high school students in the region.
The office recently engaged students from Dompoase Senior High School in an initiative dubbed “I am Young and Responsible.” The program aims to educate and empower students about PURC’s mandate and the importance of using electricity and water responsibly.
The “I am Young and Responsible” initiative has several objectives, including creating awareness of consumer rights, understanding utility regulation, promoting informed decision-making, promoting responsible consumption, and empowering future leaders. By educating students about their rights as consumers of electricity and water, PURC hopes to empower them to make informed decisions about their utility usage.
The initiative is expected to have several benefits for the students and the community at large. By understanding PURC’s role in promoting fair practices, students can appreciate the importance of regulatory frameworks in ensuring that utility services are delivered efficiently and effectively. Additionally, the education provided by PURC can promote sustainable practices and responsible consumption, which can have a positive impact on the environment and the community.
The “I am Young and Responsible” initiative is not just about promoting responsible consumption of electricity and water; it’s also about empowering future leaders. By educating students about PURC’s mandate and influence on national development, the initiative aims to promote informed citizenship and responsible resource use. This can have a positive impact on the country’s development and ensure that future leaders are equipped with the knowledge and skills necessary to make informed decisions.
