Rewiring Australia’s Co-Founder Saul Griffith heads to the Western Australia to share tips on energy savings and climate action
Renowned engineer and clean energy expert Saul Griffith will share insights from his latest book Plug In: The Electrification Handbook at events in WA exploring how Australians can transition to all-electric homes and vehicles while reducing energy costs.
At the events being held next week in Melville, Perth and Margaret River, Griffith will address the growing appetite among Australians for electrification and practical pathways to achieve it fairly and efficiently.
"Australians want to electrify their homes and vehicles to save on energy bills, but the key question is how we ensure this transition happens in a way that's both equitable and accelerated," said Griffith, Chief Scientist at Rewiring Australia.
Griffith will share practical insights for residents considering electric vehicle purchases, solar installations, heat pump systems, and other electrification technologies, while addressing common concerns about costs, infrastructure, and implementation timelines.
