The public has snapped up every air conditioning unit available through the government’s Sustainable Island Resource Framework (SIRF) Fund, leaving no additional units in stock for interested applicants, the Department of Environment confirmed in an official statement this week.
In the announcement, department officials noted that at present, there is no clear timeline for when a new shipment of subsidized air conditioners will be made available to the public. As soon as additional units are secured for the program, updates will be shared across all official government communication channels to keep interested communities informed.
Beyond the air conditioner allocation update, the department also reminded residents looking to make energy-efficient home upgrades that polycarbonate sheets, another product offered under the SIRF Fund’s sustainability initiative, are still available for purchase.
The department closed its statement by expressing gratitude for the widespread public engagement and support for the SIRF program, and encouraged residents to subscribe to and follow the Department of Environment’s official social media and communication platforms to receive real-time updates on program stock and future offerings.
