The temporary shop in Qurindi will help give residents access to a variety of different government schemes and programs which will help them reduce their energy costs.
LPSC mayor Andrew Hope urged locals to take advantage of the resource.
“From my discussions with families and business owners I know that the cost of power is one of their biggest overheads and concerns,” Cr Hope said.
“I really encourage as many people as possible to come and find about the programs and services in NSW that can help you reduce power costs.
“You will have the opportunity to meet the NSW Government’s Northern Regional Energy Co-ordinators who will assist you to better understand your electricity bills, answer questions on solar and battery storage options, assist in accessing energy efficiency rebates, or simply provide you with the information, tools and resources you need to reduce energy use in the most cost-effective way.”
Programs included in the pop-up shop
- The Energy Savings Scheme
- The appliance replacement program
- The small energy users program
- The home energy action program
- Energy made easy electricity bill comparison site
- Energy rebates for NSW households and more.
Cr Hope said the shop would have information on a variety of schemes and programs.
“There will be plenty of useful take home resources available for your home and business and the local energy co-ordinator can help tailor and advise the most relevant programs suitable to you on the day,” he said.
“Information will also be provided on energy projects happening across the region, including explanation of community benefits, landholder information and contact information for the relevant projects if you would like to know more about them.”
The pop-up shop will be hosted outside The Hub on Station Street Quirindi from 9am to 1pm on Saturday May 12.
