Information about energy saving

The Peninsula Environment Group will hold an information session on energy saving and government rebates on Tuesday, July 7.

Green homes assessor Mr Ian Garradd will be there to offer advice on how people can reduce their energy bills to beat electricity price rises, as well as providing information on available rebates for solar power and other energy saving measures.

"The recent electricity price rises are likely to be just the beginning," PEG president Mr Mark Mann said.

"All the experts predict more price rises ahead.

"And we are certainly going to get some sort of tax on greenhouse gases during the next few years, which will push up prices further.

"But Ian will be explaining how you can cut your electricity use with just a few simple changes and low-cost investments.

"He'll also have information about getting solar panels.

"With the Federal Government rebate plus the NSW government's generous 'feed-in tariff', solar panels are currently one of the best investments you can possibly make."

The session will be held at the Woy Woy Environment Centre located at 267 Blackwall Rd, Woy Woy, from 8pm.
