The communities leading Australia’s electric future

Across Australia, people are coming together to help their neighbours electrify. They’re sharing knowledge, hosting events and making the transition to electric homes easier for everyone.

100+

community groups active across the country

From local workshops and demonstrations to community conversations and practical support, these groups are helping households understand what’s possible and take action.

More than 100 community groups are now active across the country, bringing people together as part of Rewiring Australia’s Electric Communities Network - a growing movement helping Australia electrify, one community at a time.
