Council electricity management workshops

LGA Procurement are holding three interactive workshops designed to help inform, educate and empower council staff to control the portions of their electricity bill that can be managed.

Run by LGA Procurement and supported by the LGA, in partnership with The Energy Project and several councils. Topics for the workshops have been grouped in a way that suits a specific cohort.

Council staff encouraged to attend include CEO, procurement officers, sustainability officers, or facilities managers.

Workshops will be held online and in person at LG House, 148 Frome St, Adelaide.
