Electrifying Your Electorate: Savings and Jobs Benefits in NSW

Shifting from gas to electric appliances can save money, address cost of living issues, create jobs and benefit the climate – what’s not to like?

Below you can explore our new, specially-commissioned research which shows the cost of living, jobs and climate benefits of shifting from gas to electric appliances in each NSW electorate, and then send an email direct to your local Member of Parliament with the results. The new analysis shows that, overall, upgrading household energy appliances in NSW will result in:

Over $1 billion

saved on energy costs for NSW citizens per year

1.5M tonnes

of greenhouse gas emissions avoided per year

$898 saved

per year on the energy bill of an average NSW household

It’s also a jobs bonanza waiting to happen. Household energy upgrades could produce 3,529 full-time jobs in installation, and an additional 2,970 in manufacturing if hot water systems were manufactured in NSW.

Dear MP,
 
 Therefore, I am asking that you represent the interests of our electorate and champion a Household Energy Upgrade Plan within the NSW Parliament so that our community receives the millions of dollars of energy savings, health and environmental benefits.
I would like for you to advocate on my behalf for a Household Energy Upgrade Plan that:
<ol>
<li>Supports the investment in local manufacturing and local procurement of heat pumps</li>
<li>
Prioritises the most disadvantaged communities for an accelerated rollout of community and social housing upgrades to alleviate cost of living pressure</li>
<li>
Sets targets, dates and clear expectations as part of a wider ‘gas substitution roadmap’ for when and how the rollout of energy upgrades will take place</li>
</ol>
NSW can’t afford to lag behind other States on electrification, but to achieve this in a way that is practical, fair and fully realises economic, health and environmental benefits we need a plan, and quickly!
I urge you to please consider the millions of dollars of energy savings our electorate stands to gain each year through an Energy Upgrade plan and advocate for this important policy on behalf of our community.
 Sincerely, [YOUR NAME AUTOMATICALLY INSERTED HERE] <a href="https://assets.nationbuilder.com/lockthegate/pages/8617/attachments/original/1710822430/NSW_Electrification_Benefit_Tool_Explainer_and_Methodology.pdf?1710822430" target="_blank">*NSW Electrification Benefit Tool Explainer and Methodology</a>
