Members of the team will provide free advice about low and no-cost home energy efficiency measures, monitoring energy use, renewable energy options and the support available.
Councillor Hardyal Dhindsa, city council cabinet member for planning, environment and public protection, said: "Residents are struggling to afford increasing energy bills.
"This workshop will be part of a wider project to help people bring their bills down.
"Previously, we've seen great success in a similar initiative undertaken in partnership with the Allestree and Normanton neighbourhood boards.
"I would urge residents to get involved and take advantage of the information and support available."
The workshops are part of a wider community energy project being delivered by the council's Climate Change Team.
The project also includes a community energy survey, which will look at energy issues within the two areas of Derby.
The results of the survey will be used to build a clear picture of energy efficiency opportunities, which will help to provide tailored advice and support.
To sign up for the energy workshops, which are being held as part of the council's low energy neighbourhoods project, call the team on 640810 or e-mail energy.advice@derby.gov.uk.

“A petition against high-carbon, non-renewable energy produced from burning plastics and compostable foodwaste etc , will be at the following meeting on Wednesday

High carbon, dioxin emitting incinerator plans for Derby.
The RRS/Shanks developers have admitted that over 172,000 tonnes of CO2 would be produced EACH year, More about how both councils have been duped by the developers on http://tinyurl.com/d6jmmcd (under construction)
If people are forced to throw foodwaste into the blackbin (current draconian brownbin plans) this means that figure is underestimated, as the increase of foodwaste will create even more CO2, when burned. Currently, carbon is being sequestered ie saved) , as householders are putting foodwaste into the brownbin, from where it is composted, at Vital Earth. Real carbon capture storage.
