Premium Content Subscriber only A Federal MP has announced new grants to help not for profit organisations lower their energy costs. Member for Capricornia Michelle Landry announced the new Powering Communities Program during a Rockhampton press conference on April 6. It will fund up to 12 projects worth a total of $67,700 in Ms Landry’s electorate with no co-contribution required, and will be between $5000 to $12,000 per grant. The program is designed to assist groups to lower their energy bills by upgrading air conditioners, installing batteries and solar panels, putting in more efficient hot water systems and fridges, replacing lights, or conducting an energy audit.
