Lowering energy costs for community groups in Hume
Federal Member for Hume Angus Taylor has congratulated six community groups who will receive grants to lower their energy costs thanks to the Federal Government’s Powering Communities Program.
The $10.2 million program provided grants of between $5,000 and $12,000 to eligible community organisations to assist with lowering their power bills.
“Energy bills are often one of the biggest overheads for not-for-profit organisations,” Mr Taylor said.
“I'm thrilled to be able to support these local organisations to reduce their power bills and ease the financial pressure they face.
“It’s groups like these that are the lynchpins of communities around my electorate, and this assistance will allow them to continue to grow, invest and support local jobs.”
