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.
