Beyond gas – exploring the transition to electric solutions


Listen Later

In this episode, Tony Wood from the Grattan Institute is interviewed by Energy Consumers Australia's Director Energy System Transition Brian Spak.

As we move towards a carbon neutral economy, a very real conversation is taking place that affects most homeowners in Australia. What do we do about gas? 5 million Australian homes are connected to gas, whether it’s for heating, cooking or both. We rely on it, but if we want to reduce our carbon footprint, something needs to change.

Tony and Brian discuss the gas transition and electric alternatives as the Grattan Institute communicates the findings of their recently released 'Getting off gas' report.

This episode also features a Grants Update on a project that is upskilling migrants in Australia to better understand their energy bills, technology and their role in the energy transition.
