It's been a bit quiet from us recently, we've been working on a podcast! The Shameless Plug with Saul Griffith has just gone live! Join Saul and his mate Dr Fiona Whitelaw as they break down how to electrify your home, car, and community. Find it in your podcast feeds or subscribe on Youtube.

Would a home battery incentive lower your power bills? - ABC listen With the election's energy promises so far including gas reservation, a cut to the fuel excise and direct bill relief, Labor is expected to announce a new federal household battery incentive scheme.

Listen to our Co-Founder Dr Saul Griffith talk to the ABC's Andy Park about the electrification agenda: www.abc.net.au/listen/progr...

The benefits of upgrading from gas to electric are clear:
⚡ Significant cost savings (households could save thousands, annually)
⚡ Reduced reliance on diminishing gas reserves
⚡ Support for Australia's renewable energy transition

As gas prices climb, more households and businesses are switching to electric alternatives, reducing overall gas consumption.

Mild winters and trend towards electrification will push back gas shortage until 2028, Aemo says Increased cost of the fossil fuel has also cut forecasts of how much gas will be needed in Australia’s southern states

The Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO) reports that expected gas shortages in southern states have been pushed back to 2028 - three years later than previously forecast. This delay is largely thanks to Australians embracing household electrification.

Suburb-wide electrification trials to be rolled out across Australia in bid to fuel transition away from gas Project providing subsidies to install solar batteries and electric appliances part of Labor deal with crossbenchers

Suburb-wide electrification trials are set to be rolled out across the country ⚡🔌🏠☀️

Efficient all-electric homes are healthier, have lower bills & generate less pollution — so it's no wonder the shift is gaining momentum!

Great work @rewiringaus.bsky.social

Electrification will be the quickest and cheapest way to move households away from expensive fossil fuels. Nationwide community pilots, like Electrify2515, will improve research outcomes and pave the way for our electric future.

Victorians with rooftop solar will get virtually nothing for feeding power to the grid A glut of energy during the day and rapid uptake of rooftop solar has prompted the Essential Services Commission to propose slashing the feed-in tariff.

The electricity market was designed around fossil fuels and was not set up for rooftop solar. This is why we're calling for electricity market reform that ensures fair pricing for Australia's 4 million households with solar. www.smh.com.au/national/vic...

This year is going to be big! We're excited to #electrifyeverything by making sure more Australians can power their homes with efficient, electric appliances, powered by rooftop solar.⚡🌞 Keep up to date with our work by signing up to our monthly newsletter 👉 www.rewiringaustralia.org

Police, nurses and firefighters to be enticed to buy electric vehicles Essential workers and low and middle-income earners will be enticed with government-subsidised cheaper loans to take up electric vehicles, including second-hand EVs.

The average Australian household spends $2700 per year filling their car with petrol, so it's great to see the government subsidise cheaper loans to help our essential workers and low to middle-income workers reduce that cost of living pressure. www.smh.com.au/environment/...

🏠 Households in Victoria are the greatest consumers of residential gas in Australia, which is contributing to expensive household energy bills and damaging greenhouse gas emissions. Rewiring Australia has crunched the numbers, check out how much Victorians can save when they #electrifyeverything.

Water heating is the second big ticket gas user in Victorian homes. Rewiring Australia modelling shows just how much Victorians can save by switching to electric hot water systems. Bring on the power of the shower! ☀️⚡🚿

In Victorian homes, space heaters use the most energy. Our modelling shows reverse cycle air conditioners use 3-4 times less energy than gas heaters, resulting in significant energy bill savings, and even more so if paired with solar! www.electrifyeverything.org.au #electrifyeverything

New CSIRO report doubles down on nuclear price and time frames After heavy criticism, Australia's leading science agency doubles down its findings that the cost of nuclear power for Australia would likely be double that of renewable energy, and it would take at l...

CSIRO confirms today that building a nuclear power station would cost twice as much as renewables. And we already know nuclear couldn't be built fast enough to bring people's bills down. www.abc.net.au/news/2024-12...

Cooktops are often the last appliance to be upgraded from gas. Our modelling shows Victorian households who upgrade to electric induction cooktops save on energy costs - not to mention the health benefits that come with gas-free cooking

Australian homes to be cooled this summer by more renewable energy and battery projects, Aemo says But it warns of shortfalls if high demand periods – like heatwaves – happen during unplanned outages

Good news for summer cooling! More renewable energy & battery projects will help keep homes powered this season, counteracting the risk from coal outages. AEMO reports increased clean energy capacity, boosting grid resilience against heatwaves & extreme weather www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Australian homes could slash energy bills by two thirds by cutting out gas and petrol, AEMC says Australian households could lower their bills by over two thirds if they fully electrify their home by cutting out gas and petrol according to a new report from AEMC.
