Govt cost = over $27,700 per household, and that's just this year's funding 💰 Esperence has its own circumstances, but surely it makes sense elsewhere for Govts to be encouraging renewable gas options before committing to blanket electrification? mediastatements.wa.gov.au/Pages/McGowan/…

🇬🇧 The cost of household gas and electricity is expected to rise in October by another 75% to about £3500 ($6100) a year. By the northern autumn, energy bills, which have already risen by 54% this year, will be at triple their level a year earlier 🤯😱 smh.com.au/world/europe/h…

👋United Energy Powercor Australia CitiPower, zero network charge in the middle of the day is great. But it's a worry that so far no retailer is offering this to Vic customers. Surely we don't need to force them to let custs access innovative tariffs? linkedin.com/feed/update/ur…

I think 🇦🇺 is not as bad as 🇬🇧, but given our new infrastructure needs to decarbonise, this is a cautionary tale spectator.co.uk/article/britai…

RIDING THE EV WAVE: We can either surf the wave of new EVs or get dumped on the sand bar. It is essential to make the right technical decisions in the near term and allow trials and evidence to guide future decisions. ow.ly/olZc50KxofP

Good appointments 👋

Big day for VEC staff

Following the #backtothefuture trend, here’s the list of members of the Electricity Supply Association of Australia from 1976

I guess I'll need to update my profile linkedin.com/posts/andrew-d…

I'm pretty sure Joel Gilmore @tanelsonaus wrote a paper last year suggesting we might need something like this here in 🇦🇺 reneweconomy.com.au/germany-to-bui…

Yeah, nah - cleaning solar panels is not a job I’m seeking. Hard work perhaps best left to the pros 🌞

A key point here is that when off-peak was overnight, many vulnerable customers were losers when moving from flat rates to time-of-use prices. When off-peak is midday, it's a much better story onestepoffthegrid.com.au/how-consumers-…

“EV charging is very flexible for customers” and hence a great opportunity to unlock the benefits of this flexible demand that will grow rapidly energynetworks.com.au/news/energy-in…

So now I'm going to be dealing with "aren't you the new AFL CEO?" gags over and over...🤦‍♂️🙄

I'm a Bombers fan and I'd left the ground by the time Darcy did this on Tue. Wish I'd stayed - superb speech 👏👏

Good news for safety, good news for Vics disconnecting, but bad news for those remaining on gas, in particular renters who can't choose to exit gas. Kicking can down road a bit But AER is right calling on Govts to act, guaranteed mess if they don't reneweconomy.com.au/fossil-gas-dea…

This is a good read, but deeply concerning. Will humans actually elect Govts that will save them from climate change? ft.com/content/64903f…

In 🇬🇧, some 54 per cent place a higher priority on the cost of living than on net zero. Not sure the climate wars are over ☹️ afr.com/policy/energy-…

These articles are both covering the same AATSE report 🤷
