Confused by your energy bills? Keen to make home energy savings?
The Energy Neighbourhoods project can really help you get a handle on your home energy consumption, providing you with both the advice and support to reduce it.
The competition to see which neighbourhood can make the greatest energy savings began on 1st December 2011 and will finish on 31st March 2012. If you would like to form a team and take part in the competition next December the page on 'how it works' will provide you with all the information you need on what to do. Alternatively you can contact Karen Robinson at Severn Wye Energy Agency on 0800 500 3076 or email karen@swea.co.uk.
