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

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! ☀️⚡🚿 Join the electrification movement 👇 www.electrifyeverything.org.au

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

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 Find out more⚡electrifyeverything.org.au

Rewiring Australia modelling shows Victorian houses that have electrified their homes & cars that are powered by rooftop solar, save $4,700 in upfront costs over the 15 yr lifetime of those items, compared to homes with gas appliances & petrol cars electrifyeverything.org.au/ #electrifyeverything

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...

4 million Aussie households now have rooftop solar – and are saving an average of $1,500 a year on power bills ☀️ bit.ly/3AyiZ06

“Incentivising households and businesses to take up batteries means more cheap solar power in the grid and reduces our reliance on harmful fossil fuels. Households are the heroes in the energy transition,” said Rewiring Australia Executive Director Dan Cass. newshub.medianet.com.au/2024/05/batt...

Tonight's Federal Budget includes critical steps towards universal electrification of the nation's homes. Read our full statement on #budget2024 newshub.medianet.com.au/2024/05/the-...

"We're pleased to see an investment of $27.7 million to better integrate Consumer Energy Resources like rooftop solar and home batteries into the grid, so households are on a level playing field with the energy giants." Executive Director @danjcass.bsky.social speaking to the press #Budget2024

We're pleased to see an investment of $27.7 million to better integrate Consumer Energy Resources like rooftop solar and home batteries into the grid, so households are on a level playing field with the energy giants #Budget2024

Australia needs more electricians and tradies to #electrifyeverything, so we applaud the new funding for a clean energy workforce, including $91 million to support the development of training, and $55.6m to establish the Building Women's Careers Program #Budget2024

Fast-paced electrification could free-up existing gas supplies to support the energy transition, rather than committing to more emissions for decades to come. #auspol

New gas projects will have devastating effects on our climate, the health of our children and future generations. Australian households use 164PJ of gas per year. www.smh.com.au/politics/fed...

No one in the energy industry seems to want the NSW government to pay for a long-term Eraring extension – not even rival coal generators bit.ly/44pZDoa

We're excited that our Executive Director Dan Cass will be speaking at the Power + Utilities 2024 Leadership Summit in Melbourne. There's still time to join us on 7 - 8 May by booking your spot today. More info: powerutilitiesaustralia.com

News the Chris Minns Government is looking to extend the polluting Eraring coal-fired power station up to 4 years is terrible for NSW climate & households. Taxpayers subsidies would prop up the power station, that would otherwise be invested in renewable energy. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Fossil gas is unhealthy, expensive & bad for the environment. We encourage Masterchef Australia to ditch their sponsorship deal with the Australian Gas Network, and promote the healthier & cheaper alternative - electric induction cooking ⚡👩‍🍳 www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

We know that a solar electric home is cheaper, cleaner and fairer - that's why universal access to finance will be key in helping all Australians benefit from electrifying everything www.news.com.au/finance/mone...

The planet doesn’t have a spare decade to indulge greenwashing nonsense. This is dispiriting and #MasterChefAU ought to rethink its relationship with people pushing fossil fuels. www.abc.net.au/news/2024-04...

Makes sense to us! ☀️⚡"Renewable energy is slashing emissions, now it's cutting prices too" www.smh.com.au/politics/fed...
