Two federal Hunter MPs have expressed their support for the creation of local energy hubs in the region.

"Local communities at the forefront of energy transition like Newcastle and the Hunter, stand to benefit from community driven initiatives like the proposed localised renewable energy hubs," said Newcastle MP Sharon Claydon.

"With the world undergoing a switch to more renewable and dispatchable energy, it's important to have somewhere that people in the regions can get accurate and unbiased information and support as we shift energy sources. A local energy hub would help ensure communities have the facts about local projects," said Hunter MP Dan Repacholi.
