Creating our electric future today.
The Electrify 2515 Community Pilot will offer subsidies and support to 500 households to upgrade to electric appliances; ready for the shift to a smart, electric future.
This visionary project is an initiative of 2515 locals being driven by Rewiring Australia, Brighte, and Endeavour Energy, with funding from ARENA. Together, we’re working to show what’s possible—and build the case for supporting every Australian home to electrify.
