Community, climate action, practical tips ✅ We had so much fun hosting this free local session in Boroondara as part of the Melbourne Community Electrification Roadshow - our recent event “Does a Battery Make Sense for me”

After the main expert panel, we invited three local residents on stage to share their firsthand experiences with getting home batteries, followed by a lively Q&A.

✅ Key takeaway: deciding whether to install a battery can feel confusing, but it starts with understanding your own needs: your energy use, solar setup, ideal battery size and whether it makes financial sense for your home.

We also had many of our amazing volunteers at our stall chatting to local residents about our free programs and resources to help households switch to electric.

This event was part of the Melbourne Community Electrification Roadshow, an exciting six-month series running through May 2026.

We’re proud to be one of 15 community groups involved, and to partner with , & to bring it to life.

⚡️Hundreds of conversations about all electric homes⚡️We had a big day at the Glenferrie Festival recently in Hawthorn!

The Electrify Boroondara volunteer team had a great time chatting to so many festival attendees about all things electric - we fielded a wide range of questions about why switching to electric in your home is better, how to get started, and how we can help.

There was a strong interest in our Home Energy Guides program and many conversations about solar, batteries and solar on heritage homes!

This exciting annual event is always a highlight of the community calendar in eastern Melbourne - with hundreds of stalls and people from nearby and across the city visiting to support local businesses, artisans and community groups, and enjoy a fun day out with the family.

Thank you to the organisers Glenferrie Traders Association & City of Boroondara for running another terrific festival!

Have you wondered how to save money on your gas bills? Switching to heat pump hot water is a fantastic option - better for your wallet as well as the planet! 🏡⚡️🌎

Register now to join us online for this free webinar - link in bio & https://events.humanitix.com/hot-water-webinar

Did you know?
A majority of Victorians use gas-powered hot water – 62% of us, according to Victorian Government figures.

But with gas prices on the rise, we’re paying more and more for our hot showers. Wholesale gas prices have been steadily climbing for decades, and Victorian consumers now have the highest average gas bills in Eastern Australia.

Join us online on May 6th and get the facts about switching to heat pump hot water.

Hear from industry experts Tim Johnston (CEO of Powrhouse) and Harry Barber (Electrify Yarra)

Plus, hear from locals who have made the switch about what they did, how they did it, and the results they’ve seen – and ask our experts your own questions in an interactive Q&A!

This webinar is brought to you collaboratively by , Electrify Boroondara, and – three independent and nonpartisan community groups committed to helping you get off gas at home.
