Survey sparks huge response
For 2515 to be considered for this potential pilot, we were set a goal of 500 households to register their interest. We met that in the first week!
Just last month we announced that we, a group of local volunteers who formed Electrify 2515, were keen to see if our own community would be interested in participating in a potential pilot project that would see our whole community electrify. And the response has been, well, electric!

Our electric community!
It is clear that our community is a perfect fit for taking on such an innovative idea – we’re so proud of the support for positive action that we have here. We’re now in the phase of getting as many people as possible to register their interest. Essentially, the higher the number, the greater our chances of something happening here. So please complete the quick survey to register and tell your neighbours too (see link below).
If the pilot project proceeds, participants will be subsidised and supported to convert their homes to the most energy-efficient appliances for cooking, heating and hot water, as well as have solar panels and a battery installed and access to an electric vehicle. It’s a wonderful opportunity to try to create a net zero emissions community and to save on power bills.
Have some questions?
From questions about renters or shaded roofs, to who Electrify 2515 and Rewiring Australia are, please make sure you check out our FAQ page on the website which is regularly updated. If there’s anything that is not covered there, please let us know and we’ll happily add to it.
Not in 2515?
Our goal for electrified communities does not stop at the 2515 boundary. In fact, about one in six respondents have been from outside the postcode. We’re hoping we can help mobilise communities around Australia. If you’re not in 2515, please still register your interest to stay up to date with any possible expansion of the project. Also, we have provided some starting points for those looking to kickstart something in their own neighbourhood – which we fully encourage and we’re keen to support however we can.
Finally, get in touch if you want to grab yourself a free t-shirt or sticker to help get the word out!
