What happens when an entire community decides to ditch gas and go electric? That’s the challenge behind Electrify 2515, Australia’s most ambitious community electrification pilot.
Backed by Rewiring Australia, Brighte, Endeavour Energy, and ARENA, the project is helping 500 households in postcode 2515 swap in heat pumps, induction cooktops, and solar quickly, and at scale.
60 homes have already taken the leap, and the early lessons reveal a lot about costs, supply chains, and how people are actually living with smart energy tech.
John Buchelin from Rewiring Australia, and the pilot’s operations manager outlines what’s working, what’s not, and why this bold experiment matters for households, tradies, and the future of the grid.
