Southland Warm Homes Trust: Keeping Our Communities Warm

The Southland Warm Homes Trust (SWHT), established in 2008 by the Southland Power Trust and Electricity Invercargill Limited, is dedicated to making homes in Southland and West Otago warmer and healthier. In collaboration with the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Authority (EECA), the Trust provides insulation and heating solutions to households in need.

As a consumer owned trust giving to the community is always at the top of the Southland Power Trusts agenda and the Southland Warm Homes Trust helps do just that.
