People will be encouraged to take shorter showers, cut back on driving and not fill up the kettle, in a public awareness campaign aimed to help save money.
The Government is expected to soon bring a new cost-of-living package to help households who are struggling due to the hike in electricity and fuel costs.
But a lot of the package will include advice to consumers on how to change their behaviours to help cut back on their bills.
It’s understood Green Party leader Eamon Ryan who is responsible for energy and transport will bring forward proposals for a public awareness campaign by the Sustainable Energy Authority.
It will urge people to make changes at home such as taking shorter showers, only boiling enough water required and not a full kettle and to cut out a car journey.
Other advice will include turning down the thermostat by a degree.
In recent days, Minister Ryan also said the Government is considering using mandatory time-of-day-pricing for electricity.
This means households could be washing clothes and dishes at night if the government does a deal with power companies to combat soaring energy bills.
Speaking on RTE on Monday morning, Minister Ryan said: "More immediately, we need to focus on energy efficiency. The next phase really has to be about energy efficiency, helping people to save money with some practical measures that cut the cost of a bill.
"We’ll bring to government in the next two weeks some of those measures, some of them in planning systems, some of them regulatory, some of them a campaign to help explain to the public what are the simple ways in which bills can be cut.
"We need to target particularly those at risk of fuel poverty and some of those measures will take time, some of them will be better placed for the budget where we really need to look at what your how the social welfare system can kick in and to take time and to get that right."
