Saving electricity made easy: Free tips for Offenburg households!

On September 23, 2025, an informative meeting will take place in the Uffhofen district and family center that is specifically aimed at low-income households. From 10 a.m. to 12 p.m., interested citizens will have the opportunity to talk to Achim Appel from Neue Arbeit Lahr about the topic of saving electricity. The aim is to help participants in a simple way to better understand their own electricity bills and to get practical energy-saving tips. Regiotren.de reports on this important event.

Particularly noteworthy is the offer of an “electricity saving check”, which offers participants the opportunity to arrange individual appointments for a personal analysis of their electricity, water and heat consumption. Savings opportunities are identified and a free energy saving kit with useful items such as LED lights and power strips that can be switched off is provided. Registration is not required, so everyone affected can drop by spontaneously.

Energy saving check and support

The initiative, supported by the city of Offenburg, is part of a larger commitment to promote energy efficiency. Similar programs, such as the free “Electricity Saving Check” advisory service from Caritas in the Main-Taunus district, are also aimed at low-income households that receive state benefits. Recommendations on the use of electrical devices are also given here and the opportunity is offered to receive vouchers worth 100 to 200 euros for replacing old refrigerators or purchasing highly efficient devices. This information is provided by the Caritas Taunus.

The Baden-Württemberg consumer advice center also offers comprehensive advice on other topics such as optimizing heating and changing energy suppliers. Lectures and online seminars help citizens reduce energy costs. Here too, the focus is on targeted support for low-income households.
