Yesterday, Ukraine launched a large-scale program to exchange old incandescent lamps for LED lamps. 30 million of these lamps have already been purchased by the EU, and another 5 million are expected to be delivered by France. This was announced by Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal during a Government meeting on January 31.

"You can submit a preliminary application for the exchange via the Diia or simply exchange old lamps for new ones at Ukrposhta offices. Ukrainians have already ordered more than 300,000 energy-saving lamps for exchange through the Diia. Therefore, we are confident that the program will be successful," the Prime Minister emphasized.

The program for the exchange of old incandescent lamps for LEDs was initiated by the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy and supported by the European Union. The Prime Minister thanked partners for their assistance in implementing the program.
