  1. Why the energy transition needs consumers to love electricity

    Why the energy transition needs consumers to love electricity

    In just over 8 years the Octopus Group has become one of the largest green energy retailers, generators, installers and investors in the UK. Underpinning and revolutionising the way they do business is Kraken technology. Devrim Celal is the Chief Marketing and flexibility officer at Kraken. He explains why consumer trust in the electricity industry is so important and why the energy transition will not succeed unless we are given incentives to participate in helping balance electricity when it is available and when it is not.

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

    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.

  3. Stop bill-shocking by forcing householders on to time-of-use electricity tariffs

    Stop bill-shocking by forcing householders on to time-of-use electricity tariffs

    By the end of the decade, it’s anticipated every home in Australia will be paying time-of-use, or cost-reflective, tariffs, rather than a flat rate for our electricity. Some households though are getting much higher electricity bills because their electricity retailer didn’t tell them they’d been put on a time-of-use tariff and have to pay more during peak periods. Brendan French, the Chief Executive of Energy Consumers Australia, outlines why cost-reflective tariffs shouldn’t be mandatory, and why we need to simplify consumer bills, not make them more complicated.

  4. In defence of 'community' batteries

    In defence of 'community' batteries

    The Federal Government has funded over 400 community batteries to be installed across Australia to provide shared storage for up to 100,000 households. Most of that funding has gone to electricity distributors, the poles and wires companies. One of those companies is Ausgrid, the largest distributor of electricity on the east coast, providing power to nearly 2 million customers. Group Executive of Distributed Services at Ausgrid, Rob Amphlett Lewis, discusses why mid-scale batteries have a big role to play in the energy transition, how they will become cost effective in the future, and how householders can benefit from them.

  5. How an air tight home can reduce energy costs by up to 20%

    How an air tight home can reduce energy costs by up to 20%

    Poor air tightness of our buildings can lead to draughty, leaky, and uncomfortable homes. It can also increase our energy bills by up to 20 per cent. Senior experimental scientist at the CSIRO, Michael Ambrose, has recently completed Australia’s most comprehensive study on the ‘leakiness’ of recently built homes. He found the air tightness of new homes has improved significantly since he first conducted a similar study in 2015, but there’s still room for improvement.

    The Tesla-driving sparkie is back to answer householder electrification questions

    Brendan Lang is an electrician from Melbourne who swapped his diesel guzzling tradie ute for a Tesla. He calls his business Get off Gas and this week he provides answers to household electrification questions, such as: Do I need to rewire my house to install an induction stove? Do I need 3 phase power if I want to go all-electric? Should I insulate my home before I get rid of the gas and electrify everything? What should I say to a tradie who says heat pumps are no good? How do I navigate the government rebates to get the most out of them? And lots more. For more information about electrification and energy efficiency https://onestepoffthegrid.com.au

  7. Why the renewable ‘shiny shoes’ brigade needs to work with local communities

    Why the renewable ‘shiny shoes’ brigade needs to work with local communities

    A new campaign urging the federal government to invest in local energy hubs in regional areas has kicked off. It follows the release of a recent report by the Regional Australia Institute that suggests Australia’s net zero targets are under threat unless regional communities are given a seat at the table to help drive the renewable energy change. Sally Hunter is a farmer from Gomeroy country, near Narrabri, in north west New South Wales. Her family farm is one of the first in the region to go all-electric. She’s also the founder and managing director of Genie Energy, a not for profit that provides information about renewable energy to the Narrabri community. Genie Energy is seen as a template for local energy hubs. For more information about electrification and energy efficiency https://onestepoffthegrid.com.au

    How community batteries can help the energy transition

    Zero Emissions Noosa (ZEN) – a community energy group in Queensland – is currently working with the Noosa Council to install a community battery in the Noosa region. They’re the only non-industry group in Queensland to receive a federal grant for a community battery. ZEN has published a recent report that acknowledges community batteries aren’t yet financially viable without government grants, but they argue community batteries are still necessary for the energy transition. Vivienne Griffin is one of the report’s authors and co-convener of ZEN’s community batteries initiative. For more on electrification and energy efficiency https://onestepoffthegrid.com.au
