ENERGY GROUP
PART OF TRANSITION NORTH BERWICK









DID YOU KNOW? 
THAT FROM APRIL 2010,

 HOMES WITH MICRO GENERATION SYSTEMS
WILL BE PAID FOR EVERY UNIT OF ELECTRICITY THEY GENERATE - 
EVEN THE UNITS THAT THEY USE THEMSELVES!
Some of us have photovoltaic panels already producing green electricity, and we would be happy to talk to you about our systems and how they are working. 



DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH ELECTRICITY YOU ARE USING IN YOUR HOME?

From Monday 20th September 2010 you can borrow one of our Energy Monitors for free, for 2 weeks, to find out what, and who, is using the most electricity in your home.
After 20th Sept. contact
energygroup44@fsmail.net to book your loan. The monitor can then be collected from Earth Matters in North Berwick High Street and returned there 2 weeks later. (Look for posters around the town)



HOW ENERGY EFFICIENT IS YOUR HOME?
TAKE THE HOME ENERGY CHECK

 We can help you complete a Home Energy Check form, (it takes about 15 mins to complete). We will send the form to The Energy Saving Trust in Edinburgh, who will contact you direct to give specific advice on energy saving measures and see if you could get help with your heating bills. Contact energygroup44@fsmail.net
