ANECDOTE

2515 Electrification Pilot

  • In the 2515 postcode south of Sydney, 500 homes are being electrified to go completely off fossil fuels.
  • This community-led pilot is supported by a $5.4 million ARENA grant as a blueprint for national emissions reduction.
INSIGHT

Australia's Solar Leadership

  • Australia leads the world with 35-40% of homes having rooftop solar, expected to rise to 80%.
  • Battery adoption is slower, but government subsidies could drive costs down like solar did.
ADVICE

Subsidise Batteries for Growth

  • Subsidising home batteries will build industry capacity and lower costs over time.
  • Government incentives can replicate solar's success for batteries to make them economically attractive.
