Energy Conservation

Using less electricity, natural gas, gasoline and diesel will save you money and help improve our impact on the environment. Conserving energy reduces the need to produce energy from non-renewable sources and improves our air quality.

The Earth Hour Movement

Join millions of people around the world and switch off your lights in support of nature and our planet on Saturday, 28 March, 2020 at 8:30pm.

Every year the town reduces non-essential lighting in support of Earth Hour. With your participation in 2019, we reduced energy consumption 3.2 percent (3.8 MegaWatts MW), the equivalent of turning off 63,000 60 watt light bulbs. Between 2008, we have saved a total of 94 MW, the equivalent of turning off 1.5 million 60 watt light bulbs!

Bring the spirit of Earth Hour to your everyday life. Learn ways to conserve energy below!
