Energy Efficiency

Talybont on Usk Energy is in the process of helping the Talybont on Usk Energy community council area become carbon neutral. This can be best achieved through a combination of reducing the amount of energy that the community is using in the first place and generating our own energy from renewable sources such as hydro.

By being more energy efficient it is possible to save money and help the environment. If we all become a little more efficient in our energy use then this also reduces the amount of energy that needs to be generated.

Visit our energy efficient house (below) to find out about some of the things you can do to save energy in your home. You will need to have your speakers turned on in order to listen to the hints and tips.
