The appliance upgrades making home life cheaper
The diversity of households participating in the pilot ranges from apartments to renters, families to retirees, and old homes to brand new ones. But they have one thing in common, and that’s reduced emissions and bills since going electric. Meet some householders taking part in the Electrify 2515 Community Pilot and learn about what they’ve done.
Real-world lessons from Australia’s first community-led electrification pilot
The Electrify 2515 Community Pilot has successfully completed the initial phase, marking a major achievement for the community. Sixty households have taken part and upgraded their homes to smart, efficient electric appliances.
Couple electrify old cottage
Tosca and Billy recently bought a new house in Thirroul. They’re eager to upgrade their cottage, so they were chuffed to be selected as one of the first 60 participants in the Electrify 2515 Community Pilot.
Meet the early adopters
Thirroul residents Don and Christina were among the first 10 households to join the Electrify 2515 Community Pilot – a program designed to help homeowners reduce energy use and electricity bills. Having already made significant efforts to upgrade their home’s energy systems, they were excited to take part and received a fully subsidised smart energy device as part of the program.
