Do you want to help local residents reduce their energy bills and have an energy efficient home? We’re offering you the opportunity to become an Energy Hero.
You’ll receive training to provide free impartial energy advice to residents and empower them to improve the sustainability of their home.
Once trained, ‘Energy Heroes’ will be matched with residents seeking advice on improving household energy efficiency, reducing energy bills and improving comfort and safety in the home.
What you need to know
- Volunteers will be trained by an accredited Home Energy Assessor (Danielle King from Green Moves)
- Training will take eight hours over three sessions (two in person and one online) over several weeks in April and May. Dates will be confirmed closer to this time.
- The training will cover energy efficiency, electrification, thermal shell, government rebates, solar and batteries.
- Following the free training, each person will be expected to provide impartial energy advice to at least three other people in the community.
How to get involved
We’re seeking volunteers for the first round of training up to the end of March, with training to start in April.
Registrations are now open and close 5pm Thursday 30 March 2023.
