Our partner, Donegal County Council (DCC) hosted an Energy Awareness Day in its Corporate Headquarters in County House Lifford on Tuesday 12th June 2018. Energy experts (gurus) from their partners in the OPW’s Optimising Power @ Work programme were on hand offering advice to staff and members of the public on energy saving products and procedures for home and work activities.
