Politics live: electrifying push for Australians to save $5,000 a year; bumper weekend for auctions
A coalition of Australian organizations is launching a campaign to encourage households to electrify their homes and vehicles to save money and reduce emissions. The campaign seeks stronger government policy support to reach international electrification targets.
Why it matters
National electrification strategies are central to climate policy and household energy cost management.
Australian households could save $5,000 a year by electrifying their homes and cars, AAP reports, and more than 30 organisations will call for incentives and stronger policies in Canberra as part of a national campaign.
The campaign is linked to the international Electrify Now campaign, and follows a COP31 push to raise the global electrification rate from about 20% to 35% by 2035.
