”If we electrify everything, we don’t just help address the climate crisis, we create a world that is cheaper, cleaner and fairer for every household” – Dr Saul Griffith, Rewiring Australia
Our community group has teamed up with electrification experts Rewiring Australia to electrify our community. We’d love you to get involved. Can you start by completing this short survey?
Electric Vehicles are the most efficient cars. EVs convert more than 77% of electrical energy into power. Petrol vehicles convert only 12-30% of petrol energy into power.
Solar panels mean your home can generate its own power. Rooftop solar electricity is about five times cheaper than grid prices.
Heat pumps are the most efficient way to heat water for bathing, washing up, etc. Heat pumps use around a quarter of the energy required by conventional hot water systems.
Typical reverse-cycle air conditioners are the most efficient way to heat your home, using just 25-30% of the energy required by conventional gas or electric systems.
Induction cooking uses around half the energy required by fossil fuel methods. Not only is electric cooking cheaper, it also saves your household from harmful gas stove pollutants known to cause respiratory illness.
Solar panels can charge up a home battery while the sun shines. Then the battery can help power your home through the evening. (You're still connected to the grid for cloudy days when you need more energy.)
Please complete this brief survey so we get an understanding of where households are at on their electrification journey and what the main barriers might be.
We will use this to inform our activities to support community members in this journey.
