€7m drive aims to cut fuel bills

A €7 MILLION national energy efficiency campaign has been launched by the Government to encourage people to change their energy consumption patterns.

Minister for Communications, Marine and Natural Resources Noel Dempsey said the Power of One campaign, which will run for two years, was designed to bring about “a sea-change in the behaviour of Irish consumers and businesses”.

He said: “The concept of Power of One is that the sum of individual efforts by consumers as well as enterprise, can and will make a national difference.”
