Local businesses and organisations are being encouraged to learn how they can begin to take control of their energy usage.

The Energy Champions Training Course is being held in January 2014 – designed to help companies reduce their energy bills.

Richard Ronan MHK is responsible for Energy at the Department of Economic Development - he says the aim is to minimise impact on the environment.

Kevin Burnell from ISO QA Isle of Man Ltd. says he will deliver an understanding of energy efficiency, management, auditing, ongoing monitoring and reporting.

There are currently 66 trained 'Energy Champions' in the private sector and 60 within the public sector.
