Power up Victoria! Go electric to reduce your power bills and be part of the energy transition

The transition to renewable energy is on and more Victorians are switching their homes to electric.

Electric homes are cheaper to run, healthier to live in, and better for the planet.

The SEC is hosting a series of free online information sessions to guide you through the process of switching your home from gas to electric. It’s not as hard as you might think.

We’ll show you how to go electric at a pace that’s right for you.

In this first session, you’ll hear from experts on a range of topics to get you started.

  • The Hon Lily D’Ambrosio, Minister for the State Electricity Commission, will share her insights on going electric.

  • Chris Miller, Interim CEO, SEC, will discuss the SEC’s goal to support Victorian homes to go electric, reduce bills and cut emissions.

  • Dan Cass, co-founder and executive director at Rewiring Australia, will discuss the ‘how’ and ‘why’ of going electric and where to start.

  • Sophie Wright, CEO and founder of Electrify Victoria, will share practical tips to save energy and money at home.

We will also take a virtual tour of an all-electric house.

You can also join our experts for a moderated question and answer session.
