Energy Management Programme

We undertook an energy audit in 2018 in collaboration with the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Authority (EECA) and with the support of Council's energy management contractor EMSOL.

Since September 2019, an energy management programme has been underway to identify, implement, and monitor opportunities for energy savings and emission reductions.

Council continues to monitor specific sites and facilities of interest which contribute the majority of the Council's energy use.
