Energy Monitor Launch into Malvern Library

The Transition Malvern Hills Energy Group has been working with Worcestershire County Council and Malvern Library to provide a set of ten Efergy energy monitors for loan to local households.

The monitors will allow people to check their electricity use and help them save money. If the enhanced steps are followed, energy use and bills could be reduced even further.

John Raine, member of Transition Malvern Hills Energy Group, is shown here wheeling a load of these specially prepared monitors to deliver them to Malvern Library.
