Groundbreaking community pilot to help spark the electrification of all Australian homes


Listen Later

The Electrify 2515 Community Pilot has landed $5.4 million from the Australian Renewable Energy Agency to run a world first electrification pilot. Under the pilot, 500 residents in the 2515 postcode south of Sydney will receive subsidies and support to install electric hot water, reverse cycle air conditioners, induction cooktops, and home batteries, and a free smart home energy device to track and optimise their energy use. But the main objective of the pilot is to identify the opportunities and challenges that will enable household electrification to be scaled up across the whole country. Kristen McDonald is one of the co-ordinators of the Electrify 2515 project who has helped shepherd the project from idea to reality. She’s also now the mobilisation and engagement manager at Rewiring Australia.
