BIRCHWOOD-BASED energy operator Electricity North West has launched an online hub aimed at reducing Warrington's carbon footprint.

The Big Energy Conversation, will provide information and advice to consumers looking to efficiently lower their energy bills and usage.

Alongside expert advice from Jonathan Atkinson of The Carbon Co-op and Todd Holden, of the Growth Company, the Big Energy Conversation features case studies, top tips, infographics and videos to encourage people to make simple changes to their behaviour and efficiencies at home.

Paul Bircham, commercial strategy and support director at Electricity North West, said: "The launch of the Big Energy Conversation really cements our position as a leader in the conversation on energy efficiency.

"This is an important initiative because reducing energy use saves people money and reduces the need for costly new infrastructure to be built. As the region’s network operator we can really support people in Warrington to achieve a sustainable and low carbon future.

"We want to help people make small changes at home to bring their bills and carbon footprint down, and this hub will provide answers, insights and advice to all the much-needed and burning questions people may have about energy efficiency and renewable technologies."

In a bid to highlight the importance of rethinking the way we use energy, Electricity North West has invested in a number of major initiatives, all aimed at inspiring people to reduce the amount of electricity they use.

The Big Energy Conversation follows the launch of the company's campaign to make the region's consumers aware of this usage.

Paul said: "We're looking forward to inspiring more and more people across Warrington to get switched on to the benefits of reducing their energy consumption.

"We want to make the process of energy efficiency as easy and accessible as possible, which is where the Big Energy Conversation comes in.

"Together with experts from across the energy sector, this hub will provide all of the information people might need to make important decisions regarding how they use electricity."
