If there is one person who can make electrifying your home fun, it’s Dr Saul Griffith.
Many of you already know Saul. He's the founder and chief scientist of Rewiring Australia, an inventor and an engineer. And, as this video demonstrates, he's quite happy to draw on his own face.
We’re kicking off a new series with Saul where he’ll break down the everyday questions we all have about electrifying our homes and cars; including what to switch, why it matters, what it costs and what you can save.
We promise there will be no lectures and no jargon. Just Saul, backed by science that will make electrifying your home a whole lot easier.
And if you’ve got a question about electrifying your home or car, you can now ask Electric Saul - our new online tool, built from years of Saul’s research and expertise. , , , , , , , , ,

We're looking to fund 15 community partners across metropolitan and regional NSW, with grants from $5,000 to $30,000 depending on your organisation's scale and capacity:

🥉 Bronze (8 grants) — up to $5,000 for volunteer-led and emerging groups.
🥈 Silver (5 grants) — up to $15,000 for established organisations or projects reaching priority audiences.
🥇 Gold (2 grants) — up to $30,000 for large-scale, coordinated initiatives.

Partners get more than funding — you'll join a statewide community of practice with tailored training, monthly peer mentoring, dedicated support from our team, NSW-specific household data, and access to Electric Saul, our AI home advisory tool.

What a line up! 🙌 And we’re pretty excited to see one of Rewiring Australia’s newest team members, Jenny Edwards, up there too.

Jenny - aka one half of the amazing FixIt Chicks, scientist and founder of Light House ArchiScience - will be talking about why going electric at home makes so much sense, and why we all deserve homes that are healthier, more comfortable and cheaper to run.

Canberra is growing, and more of us will be living in townhouses and apartments in the years ahead. We need to make sure we get that change right. Register for the event via David Pocock's events section on his website. @jenlishfixitchicks @

Those electricity poles were once new too. Imagine announcing today that we were going to build a network of poles and wires through every suburb and put them outside people’s homes. The reaction? A lot of outrage, opposition and fear.
But now they’re simply part of life.
Energy transitions have always happened. This latest one is delivering healthier homes, cheaper bills and less polluted and noisy streets. There's nothing to be fearful of - let's embrace change instead and get on with this transition.

Putting rooftop solar on our factories and sheds will make electrification a slam dunk for businesses - helping bring on the electrification of the diesel generators, gas boilers, and the trucks and heavy equipment that make Australia far too reliant on diesel imports to keep our economy going.

Read our submission in the comment below about how we can unlock billions in new investment, lower energy costs and ensure every business, farm, school and warehouse can save by going electric. Electrify2515 Chris Bowen MP
