Wired for Good: Conversations for a Better Energy Future


Electrification of the Home: A Household Revolution

February 09, 2025

Is moving away from gas the key to a more sustainable and  affordable future? In this episode, we’re joined by Brendan French, CEO of Energy Consumers Australia, and Marc EnglandCEO of Ausgrid, to explore how home electrification is reshaping Australia’s energy landscape and saving households money.



Together, they tackle the big questions: What’s in it for households? Are the long-term savings compelling enough to outweigh upfront costs? Can the grid support widespread electrification? They also discuss the biggest barriers holding households back, the role of industry and networks in driving change, and what needs to happen to accelerate the shift.
