“Electric technologies are scientifically proven to be cheaper and more efficient. A heat pump water heater or reverse cycle A/C uses around a quarter of the energy to heat the same water or air. Gas goons will never tell you this and say it’s about consumer choice. It’s imperative that nobody is fooled by their lies.”

Join this webinar organised by the Nature Conservation Council to hear from experts on how improving energy efficiency helps fight climate change and why a Healthy Homes Plan will support rental homes (which are 1/3 of homes in NSW) to be more affordable and liveable.

South Australian gas customers risk being left with millions of dollars in new connection costs after the Malinauskas Government quietly delayed a national rule taking effect today that would have made new gas connections pay their own way.

We need more flexible options that let people choose how they participate from simple rewards for shifting energy use, through to more sophisticated automated models.

A new partnership between Rewiring Australia, community group Electrify Canberra, energy services company Electric Future and technical delivery partner enX Consulting will deliver the $40 million Go Electric pilot program, helping up to 1,000 households in Banks and surrounding suburbs switch to an all-electric home.

We're at Everything Electric in Sydney this weekend, and we'd love you to come and find us.

Electrify Australia campaign launch - Electrifying Homes and Businesses Crucial to Securing Lower Bills and Energy Stability, Says New National Initiative

Rewiring Australia is calling on governments to urgently update outdated rules so millions of renters and apartment residents can access safe, affordable plug-in balcony solar.

Every Australian state and territory has agreed to work with the Commonwealth to legalise “plug-in” solar and batteries. While the details still have to be worked out, with more coming by the end of the year, this commitment is a big step forward to giving renters and strata households more control of their energy bills

Roughly half of Australian renters (49%) are connected to mains gas, leaving 1.63 million households paying hundreds of dollars a year in fixed charges, a total $2.6 billion a year in potential energy savings.

Australian households can now get free personalised advice on how to cut energy bills and go electric with the launch of a new AI tool created by Rewiring Australia in partnership with Google.

Recent research shows big fossil fuel-consuming and carbon-emitting industries are receiving billions of dollars in credits from taxpayer dollars. We and others think it could be better to cap those subsidies and reward electrification instead.

We’re lucky to have abundant solar generation through the middle of the day in Australia, and from July 1 2026, Australian energy retailers will be required to offer households a plan that includes three hours of free electricity per day during peak solar generation hours.

Rewiring Australia is urging the Federal Government to extend home battery rebates to bidirectional EV chargers, ensuring renters can access this vital energy storage solution and secure fairer energy bills.

Millions of Australian renters could gain access to cheaper, cleaner energy under new proposals which include giving renters the right to plug in portable solar panels and batteries.

While the Federal Budget addresses Australia's energy security The Federal Budget addresses Australia's energy security problem by confirming a $10 billion fuel security package, it leaves a major shortfall in the absence of funding for a national home electrification loan scheme, which is the cheapest and most effective long-term solution for households to reduce their reliance on expensive imported petrol and gas. 

We are calling for comprehensive solutions, including mandatory minimum rental standards requiring electric replacements for gas appliances at end of life and shifting fixed gas connection costs to landlords

Rewiring Australia welcomes the Federal Government's decision to extend the electric vehicle fringe benefits tax (FBT) exemption. While this is a positive step that helps more Australians adopt EVs, CEO Francis Vierboom warns that Australia is still far from mass EV adoption.

Rewiring Australia is calling on the government to introduce a National Electrification Plan and end billions of dollars in fuel tax credits that subsidise diesel use by heavy industry.

In a striking interview on ABC's Insiders this weekend, the Shadow Minister for Industry and Sovereign Capability laid out a compelling case for why Australia needs to reduce its dependence on imported fuel, build domestic energy resilience, and protect households from global price shocks. He spoke passionately about self-reliance. He worried aloud about families at the bowser.
