A third of the team’s time will be dedicated to helping local community initiatives through volunteering, fundraising, or providing energy-saving education with their energy efficiency workshops.
Fuel poverty charity Hartlepower will also work with Utilita to ensure households get the support they need in the run up to winter.
Helen Kyne, Utilita’s head of Energy Hubs, said: “The Energy crisis is at an all-time high and our Hubs are so important in providing the support, help and advice needed.

Communities and local organisations are also invited to reserve space in the hub’s dedicated Community Room for free.
Hartlepower director Paul Hewitson said: “Utilita is one of the leading energy suppliers in the town and having a space for residents to go and discuss their bills or energy usage face-to-face is a huge bonus, particularly at this current moment in time.”
An ribbon cutting will take place at 11am on Friday.
