Become a Community Energy Champion with support from Exeter Community Energy
The rising cost of energy is at the forefront of many Devon households’ minds especially as the colder nights mean we are all keeping the heating on for longer. On top of this, residents want to play their part in reducing carbon emissions, but it can be tricky to know where to turn for advice and how to make the most efficient energy savings in the home.
Exeter Community Energy (ECoE) has secured funding to train 10 volunteer ‘Community Energy Champions’. Being an Energy Champion means supporting your friends, neighbours and communities to reduce their energy usage by becoming more energy efficient, helping them to save on their energy bills and reduce carbon emissions.
You will receive comprehensive training on the subject of household energy, from ECoE’s in-house experts and via accredited courses run by National Energy Action.
Whilst these roles are voluntary, training can help you gain invaluable transferable skills for your career development, as well as provide you with the satisfaction of giving back to your community. You may already be a key community adviser looking to diversify into energy advice, or you may be new to the field but passionate about all things green.
ECoE welcomes applications from people who are able to commit minimum 4 hours per month to the role. To find out more or to apply, contact Tara Bowers at Exeter Community Energy on [email protected] or call 0800 772 3617.
