Australia’s biggest energy retailer, Origin, is offering AUS$10 000 in grants to encourage customers to install energy saving devices. The programme is intended to raise awareness of where energy savings can be made at household and business level.
The programme, called Origin Local Savers, is open to households, businesses and community groups in Ballarat, Victoria, with five grants being given out in total.
“We hope that Origin Local Savers will help Ballarat residents become more aware of the simple things that can be done around the office, home or in the community,” said Amy Stockfield, Origin Consumer Media and Partnerships Manager.
The grant money can be used to upgrade electrical appliances, install eco-friendly lamps or set up timer switches to reduce the use of standby power.
