Energy Efficiency
At WEL we support the concept of improving the energy efficiency of industrial, commercial, farming and residential consumers in the Waikato. Energy efficiency measures can contribute to improvements in the health and welfare of households through improved standard of living and comfort levels. There are also significant environmental benefits through reduced emissions and less impact on natural resources.
There are many agencies that focus on the promotion of energy efficiency advice and tips, the following links are to a few of these that have specific relevance to New Zealand:
