The Hunter Community Alliance is set to meet today (March 6) at the University of Newcastle's Great Hall.
It's a gathering of unions, religious, disability and community action groups, which registered an attendance of about 1000 last year.
Federal Energy Minister Chris Bowen is set to attend. The alliance will ask his Government for a $5 billion energy bill savings plan, which would involve subsidies and funds to reduce the upfront cost of home energy upgrades.
The alliance will also push for local energy hubs where residents can access information on Hunter projects, similar to the one delivered by the High Speed Rail Authority.
