All systems go! (plus, there's still time to join)
The energy transition is speeding up in the 2515 postcode! The Main Rollout is underway, and the community is alive with activity.
1. 500 homes here we come!
It's all systems go for the Main Rollout of the Electrify 2515 Pilot! Offers have been sent out to all eligible households looking to replace their old gas appliances with efficient electric alternatives.
The response has been fantastic—hundreds of 2515 community members are already taking the next steps, getting quotes for appliances like heat pump hot water, reverse cycle air conditioning, and induction cooktops, and scheduling their installations.
Michael and Jennie in Austinmer are going all-in and getting the “electric hamburger with the lot”! You can hear how they're embracing an all-electric home in this segment from WIN News.
2. Shout-out to our local tradies
None of this progress would be possible without the incredible skill, expertise, and dedication of our local tradies. We are proud to have a strong contingent of quality, local installers involved in the rollout.
“Tradies are the true heroes of the energy transition. At the end of the day, climate action involves calling in a tradie to make a modification to a house. ”
