Bulli - let’s electrify!
It’s official! The Electrify 2515 Community Pilot is expanding to Bulli, offering the opportunity to make the shift to all-electric living with the help of financial subsidies and support.
Dr Saul Griffith updates the 2515 postcode to Bulli’s postcode, 2516.
Lots of Bulli residents showed interest in the community electrify campaign earlier on, but were disappointed they lived just outside the initial pilot border. We’re excited to confirm they can now take part!
Why? Federal rebates for home batteries prompted a reallocation of pilot subsidies. This means the funding can go further and can include Bulli, which shares a substation with the 2515 area.
Are Bulli residents are now eligible for subsidies?
Yes! If you still cook on gas, heat your water with gas, or heat your home with gas, both Bulli and 2515 residents can now access up to $1000 per appliance to upgrade to electric.
You’ll also cut your household bills.
Billy, Pilot participant in Thirroul:
“We installed heat pump hot water, an induction cooktop, air conditioning, solar and a battery, and we are now saving roughly $250 a month on energy bills.”

The Electrify 2515 Community Pilot is showing Australia’s electric future in action, with households from 2515 plus Bulli working together to reduce emissions and energy bills, and in return, provide data and insights to make the transition to clean energy easier for everyone.
Over 100 households have already completed their upgrades, with hundreds more in the process of getting quotes. The aim is to transition 500 homes as part of the research.
Whether you are a renter, live in an apartment, homeowner, or landlord, get along to our upcoming Info Day at Bulli Surf Club to find out how to get involved.
