ENERGY EFFICIENCY ADVICE CENTRES

The Energy Efficiency Advice Centre (EEAC) network was established by the Energy Saving Trust (EST) in 1993. This was in response to the UK Government's pledge to do its part to tackle climate change at the 1992 Earth Summit. The idea was to see if free advice to householders.

The first pilot centres opened up in 1993 and the current network has 52 regions covering the whole of the UK.

Mid and South West Wales EEAC (formerly West Wales EEAC) was the first in Wales. The North Wales EEAC was set up by the ECO Centre in 2000. The current network in Wales now looks like this:

North Wales EEAC serving Isle of Anglesey, Gwynedd; Conwy, Denbighshire, Flintshire and Wrexham; Mid and SWW EEAC serving Pembrokeshire, Powys, Carmarthenshire, Ceredigion and Swansea City. South East Wales EEAC serves the remaining south east corner of Wales.

• North Wales EEAC
• Mid and South West Wales EEAC

Each EEAC is available via a national freephone number. You will be put through to your local EEAC, wherever you call from. EEACs provide free and impartial advice on a range of energy related issues. This advice will help you save energy at home, money on the fuel bills and ultimately reduce your impact on the environment.

Top tips for saving energy can be found on the Energy Saving Trust's website or call your local EEAC on: 0800 512012


The EEACs also work with local authorities in Wales to develop strategies that help promote the take up of energy efficiency to all residents, which also helps them meet their statutory targets.
