Businesses see the light

Small businesses in Hume and Whittlesea can get help to become more sustainable and energy-efficient.

A new information service offers on-the-spot energy-use assessments and independent advice, including a brokerage service providing LED and solar lighting. 

Positive Charge is run through the Moreland Energy Foundation and has already helped more than 170 businesses to replace fluorescent tubes with energy efficient globes, upgrade airconditioners and install ‘new-generation’ fridges.

Co-ordinator Chandra Sundareswaran said the goal was to cut carbon emissions and support communities in taking control of their power bills.
