Why Electrify?

Electrifying your home is all about replacing energy sources that are based on fossil fuels with clean electricity generated from renewable sources. It's cleaner, and
it's cheaper!


Our mission to electrify Bundeena is based on the research done by inventor, engineer, scientist and author, Saul Griffith. Saul is an Austinmer local and has had an illustrious career working in the US and in Australia advising governments on how electrification and decarbonisation can be the key to meeting our climate goals, improving our health and our hip pocket!


"42% of our domestic emissions come from our households. We have direct control over this."


"With the same conveniences, size, warmth and vehicles as a currently fossil-fuelled home, electrifying the average Australian home would cut total energy use by more than half!"


“Electrified appliances and vehicles are our secret weapons in the fight against climate change… We are the first country where household electrification will save thousands of dollars per household per year.” 

Saul Griffith, inventor, engineer, scientist and author
