Transitioning to electric

Switching your equipment, appliances and transport to electric alternatives can offer long-term benefits and savings.

Make your next choice electric

Electrification involves replacing technologies and systems that use fossil fuels with those that use electricity, which can be generated from renewable sources. With rooftop solar more accessible than ever before and our grids transitioning to large-scale renewables, electrification is an important step in any business' sustainability plan.

Why switch to electric?

As more of our power comes from clean energy sources, going electric is a great way to lower your energy costs and do your part in contributing to a more sustainable future.

Long-term benefits for your business

Switching to electric alternatives could lower your energy costs, even if you aren't ready or able to combine it with a rooftop solar or battery system. Electric equipment often has higher efficiency and performance compared to older, fossil-fuel-based systems, which could reduce your operational and maintenance costs.

Following independent energy audits recommending suitable electric alternatives, the majority of ‘small-gas-use’ businesses in the 2023 Esperance Energy Transition Program chose to transition to 100% electric alternatives.

Contributes to a clean energy economy

Electrification is an essential part of the Australian Government's plan to reduce fossil fuel reliance, lower carbon emissions and reach net zero by 2050.

That's why government support and incentives for businesses that adopt energy-efficient and electric technologies is increasing, and you could be eligible for a grant or business loan to help cover the upfront costs of your transition to electric.
