Greener Melrose bids to help residents save money

ELECTRICITY monitoring meters are to be loaned out to homes in the Borders in a bid to help residents save energy - and money on their fuel bills.

A Greener Melrose was awarded £5300 from the Scottish Government's Climate Challenge Fund to pay for the project which is designed to cut the region's carbon footprint and tackle climate change.

Studies have shown that by using an electricity monitor households become more aware of how energy is being wasted and, by changing their behaviour, can reduce the amount of their energy bills.
