EcoSmart Electricians

In 2005, NAGA received funding from Australian Greenhouse Office's Community Abatement Assistance Grant for Energy Services Sector Development - Green Electricians. The small pilot project delivered information sessions for electrical contractors and related services across the NAGA region. Participants were provided with $200 worth of free energy efficient technologies for installation in homes and workplaces. The sessions educated participants about greenhouse issues and helped build their capacity to integrate energy efficiency advice into their services. The project combined a series of introductory seminars with a more in-depth 2-day training course in energy efficiency.

The National Electrical and Communications Association (NECA), the peak body for Electrical Contractors across Australia, has now developed a program to train licensed electricians nationally in energy efficient and environmentally friendly electrical products, technology and installations.

EcoSmart electricians will be able to provide customers whether they be residential, commercial or industrially based with the best options for energy efficiency outcomes. For more information go to the EcoSmart Electricians website.
