Essential Energy’s fifth Community Choices Program has opened for nominations, with community groups encouraged to nominate for their chance to win part of a $250,000 funding pool.
Essential Energy Community Relations Manager, Bronya Pressler, said Essential Energy is proud to support grassroot organisations across 95% of NSW, and parts of southern QLD through the Community Choices program.
“This year we have increased funding to a total of $250,000 to be shared between eligible groups across 20 zones in our network footprint. This means $5,000 is now available to groups that get the most votes in their region,” Bronya said.
Groups from small communities with populations less than 10,000 will also again be able to nominate and get their community voting to help them access $1,250 funding for the group with the most votes.
Nominations are open through to 5pm on 26th June. Community voting opens Monday, 3rd July and closes Monday, 17th July 2023 at 5pm AEST. Visit essentialenergy.com.au/choices to learn more or register to make a nomination.
