We are committed to reducing community greenhouse gas emissions in Wollongong to net zero by 2050 (Climate Change Mitigation Plan 2023-30).
Electrification through renewable energy is an important step to help us all get there. It means switching from natural gas appliances and petrol vehicles to efficient all-electric appliances and vehicles, powered by renewable energy.
What are the benefits to electrification?
- Cleaner and healthier homes and streets by reducing the pollutants associated with burning fossil fuels.
- Cost savings of up to $5,000 per year (Rewiring Australia).
- Reduced greenhouse gas emissions to reduce the effects of climate change.
