Kicking off at the start of the school holidays, the #NTEnergyChamp Challenge is free to enter and designed to encourage thinking about how Territorians can make simple changes to improve energy efficiency where they live, work or go to school.

A monthly #NTEnergyChamp will be drawn from all eligible entries to win an electricity voucher to the value of $300. The Challenge will run over three months, with entries opening from 17 December 2021.

In recognising the efforts of the monthly #NTEnergyChamp, Jacana Energy hopes others in the community will be inspired to join in and identify practical ways to save energy while still staying cool and comfortable.

On average, Territorians use more electricity than the rest of Australia. This is mainly due to the warmer climate, with peak energy use typically coinciding with the build-up and wet season in the Top End, and when soaring summer heat settles over Central Australia.

Jacana Energy is backing that Territorians will step up to the #NTEnergyChamp Challenge and show the rest of Australia that it is possible to reduce energy consumption in arguably the nation’s hottest climate, where appliances such as fridges, air-cons and fans have to work harder.

Quote from Chief Executive Officer, Jacana Energy, Louisa Kinnear:

“I know Territorians love a challenge and the #NTEnergyChamp Challenge is all about showing that even the smallest of changes can help to reduce energy consumption.

“Many Territorians are already setting a wonderful example by making simple changes to reduce their electricity use. Making our homes and workplaces more energy efficient is a win-win for everyone. It’s a win for Territorians who enter this challenge but more importantly it’s a win for all of us thinking more about how we can make a positive difference for our future through our smart energy use decisions.”
