Salzlandkreis job centre arranges energy advice

As part of the granting of citizens' allowance, the Salzlandkreis Job Centre, as the provider of basic income support for jobseekers in accordance with SGB II, provides financial support for the costs of accommodation and heating, among other things. These expenses are only recognised in their actual amount if they are reasonable. Inappropriate costs for accommodation and heating are often based on excessive energy consumption values. For affected customers, this often means an uncovered cost burden, over-indebtedness and the threat of electricity cuts. It is therefore in the interest of the job centre to positively influence the consumption behaviour of its customers in order to save energy.

Consumer advice centre Saxony-Anhalt

With the aim of showing low-income households in particular how to save energy, Volkmar Hahn, Managing Director of Verbraucherzentrale Sachsen-Anhalt e. V., and Thomas Holz, Operations Manager of the Salzlandkreis Job Centre, signed a joint cooperation agreement on 4 December 2018. The collaboration between the two partners is intended to raise awareness of energy efficiency and climate protection among both customers and employees of the job centre in future.

The Saxony-Anhalt Consumer Advice Centre has a nationwide advice network and many years of experience in the coordination and implementation of "Energy Advice for Private Consumers", a project funded by the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy. The advisors show those seeking advice individual solutions for the economical use of energy. In addition to the provision of information material and the implementation of presentations on the subject of energy efficiency and saving, the joint cooperation is intended in particular to ensure high-quality, comprehensive and personal advice for the customers of the Salzlandkreis job centre.
