Energy Education for Aboriginal Housing Tenants

⁠⁠⁠To establish how to best assist its tenants with the high cost of energy, the Aboriginal Housing Office has recently commenced a pilot energy bill support program for its tenants in Dubbo, NSW. The pilot program will see 151 AHO properties located in Dubbo, NSW retrofitted with rooftop solar photovoltaic (PV) systems and in-home energy management systems that help tenants reduce their energy use by making it as simple to manage as it is to use. The program will also include an education program for tenants and locally-based energy advocates, focusing on how to reduce energy use in the home and how to access support programs and services.

Dubbo has been chosen as the location for the pilot program because it is an area where many people are experiencing extreme energy hardship. Through early 2016, Aboriginal Housing Office tenants in Dubbo have reported very high levels of energy bill stress.

The Aboriginal Housing Office is seeking a provider to develop and deliver training for tenants and locally-based energy advocates as part of the Dubbo pilot program.
