What is the Electrify 2515 Community Pilot?

The Electrify 2515 Community Pilot is a research project that aims to accelerate electrification across the nation by gathering learnings about consumer motivations, electric appliance installation at scale, long-term behaviour change, and impacts on the grid. By collecting household energy data, the pilot is proving critical research to accelerate Australia's transition to a smart, electric future. The pilot launched in October 2024 and the final research reports will be delivered at the end of 2027.

All 500 homes participating in the pilot are installed with a home energy management system (HEMS) to send home energy data directly to the research team.

Beyond the research pilot, householders may be using the HEMS to monitor their energy use, and even control and schedule some appliances such as hot water systems and batteries.

If you are making changes to a pilot participant’s switchboard, we encourage you to consider the following details to ensure any changes made don’t interfere with data collection or the household set-up.
