This paper argues there has never been a better time for Victorians to switch to efficient, electric appliances in their homes.

Australians’ choice of gas or electricity for hot water and heating is influenced by regulation, circumstances, information, and personal preferences. Australia needs to get off natural gas if we are to have any hope of achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2050, according to this report.

With the recent closure of Liddell Power Station, the electricity system is on a knife’s edge. The authors of this paper argue that energy security has been given insufficient attention by energy policy-makers.

The transition towards a low-carbon future is a pressing issue, and household electrification has emerged as a critical component of Australia’s ongoing shift in energy use. This report provides a snapshot of where Australian households currently stand.

This report explores a range of readily available measures for electrifying homes and improving efficiency together, and highlights how governments can support all Australians to benefit from the switch.
