Regional manager Southern, Steven Ilitch, said community halls were at the heart of the 1,500 regional and rural NSW communities that Essential Energy serves.
“Our Community Support Program is an important initiative that enables us to support local communities across our network,” Mr Ilitch said.
“At the same time, we are focused on driving business efficiency and productivity to keep network charges to a minimum for customers while delivering safe, reliable and cost efficient electricity distribution services.”
Under the program, not-for-profit, non-commercial community halls could be eligible to receive a $200 donation (GST exclusive) to contribute to general maintenance costs.
