Every person in Australia deserves access to reliable, affordable and renewable energy.
That's why we've joined with a coalition of 30+ consumer, business, civil society and research groups to launch Electrify Australia.
Together, we’re calling on the Federal Government to accelerate electrification for Australia's households, transport, agriculture, industry, resources and commercial buildings.
What electrification means for each sector
Electrification means swapping gas, diesel and petrol for electric alternatives powered by renewable energy, so households, businesses and industry run on cheaper energy, made in Australia.
The barriers differ by sector, but the answer is the same everywhere: clear policy signals, effective regulation and targeted incentives that reach the people and businesses currently locked out of the switch.
Sector opportunities
Hot water, heating and cooling drive the biggest share of energy bills, especially in homes still running on gas or inefficient electric systems. The fix is proven and ready. Every household's next appliance should be electric.
Electrifying commercial buildings with efficient technologies cuts operating costs, lifts building values, and lets businesses run on affordable, Australian-made electricity.
Australia's transport runs almost entirely on imported fuel. In March 2026 alone, automotive fuel prices rose more than 30 per cent in a single month, driving up costs for every household and business.
All people in Australia who need to drive deserve to benefit from access to an electric vehicle (EV), which has lower fuel and maintenance costs. Even with the introduction of efficiency standards bringing lower cost vehicles in Australia, the upfront cost of a new or second-hand EV is prohibitive for many.
Strong Australian industry means secure jobs and thriving communities, and it starts with energy costs businesses can count on. Industrial heat pumps deliver three times the energy for the same cost as gas boilers, and food and beverage manufacturers, breweries, laundries and commercial kitchens could all be running on them now.
Australian farms run heavily on imported diesel, leaving families and communities exposed to volatile global oil markets. Electrifying farming equipment and powering day-to-day operations with affordable renewable electricity will cut costs, lift productivity and strengthen the resilience of Australia's agriculture.
Electric equipment, fleets and plant cut fuel costs, improve efficiency, and shield operations from price shocks no mine manager can control. Australian miners are already making the switch and are well placed to provide the technology and expertise that will help other industries follow, while setting the global benchmark.
