Exciting news! The first lap of Australia in a full battery electric truck has officially begun, marking a significant milestone in decarbonising the heavy vehicle industry. Launched in O'Connor, WA, the journey is testing the capacity of Australia’s growing network of charging stations. As the truck passes through Bunbury and beyond, it’s pushing the limits of EV technology and infrastructure, setting the stage for the future of sustainable transport. #electricvehicles #electrictruck #elecctrifyeverything #climateaction
The first lap of Australia by an electric truck has begun, with some interesting charging challenges along the way..

Here's a different perspective. "We exist in a housing crisis and a climate crisis, in a cost-of-living crisis. And do we think the answer to any of those three things is in building the biggest houses in the world?" #housingcrisis #climatecrisis #costoflivingcrisis
Australia's huge houses show 'failure of a city' but there's an elegant solution

Great to see Farmers for Climate Action highlighting strong regional support for large-scale renewables with their latest report, The Quiet Majority: Regional Australia and Large-Scale Renewables. The lived experiences of farmers leading the energy transition are powerful reminders of how regional communities are driving Australia’s clean energy future. #renewables #cleanenergytransition
Earlier this week we launched the ‘The Quiet Majority: Regional Australia and large-scale renewables’ Research Report that evidenced strong regional support for renewable technologies from rural communities. Australian Parliament House. MPs from all major parties came to hear the lived experience of farmers hosting large-scale renewables. It was wonderful to see strong bipartisan support of this important issue. Thank you to the Parliamentary Friends of the Energy Transition Co-Chairs, Dan Repacholi, MP and the Hon. Darren Chester, MP for hosting, and to the Hon. Milton Dick, MP for generously having us in the Speaker’s Courtyard. Find the report here (https://bit.ly/4fIMBHk). #quietmajority #renewables #farmingforever #farmersforclimateaction

Western Australia’s South West Interconnected System, the largest isolated energy grid in the world, has achieved an incredible milestone with 85.1% of its energy demand met by wind and solar power over the weekend. Rooftop solar contributed a remarkable 73.5%, with wind providing an additional 10%, highlighting the strength of renewable energy in the region. This progress, supported by innovations like large-scale batteries to store excess solar power, demonstrates the potential for clean energy to transform our communities, drive environmental benefits, and secure a resilient energy future. #cleanenergy #westernaustralia #climateaction #augustamargaretriver
Milestone: World’s biggest isolated grid hits new wind and solar penetration record of 85.7 pct

The State of the Climate 2024 report paints a clear picture of the escalating climate impacts in Australia—longer fire seasons, more intense rainfall, and rising sea levels. These findings highlight the urgent need for accelerated action to mitigate these consequences and safeguard our future!
Yet another sobering scientific assessment. This time in the form of CSIRO and the Bureau of Meteorology's State of the Climate 2024 report. The report confirms the experiences of millions of Australians: we are now living in an era of climate consequences. Report here. https://lnkd.in/gfux7u5S

An insightful listen from Kristen McDonald of Rewiring Australia on ABC’s Bright Side podcast highlights how communities across Australia are leading the charge to accelerate the switch to clean energy. We’re thrilled to be partnering with Rewiring Australia and can’t wait to launch Electrify AMR soon! 👏🏽👏 #electrifyeverything #renewableenergy #climateaction #communityaction
The power of community-led climate action is our source of hope for the future. Rewiring Australia’s Kristen McDonald knows this first-hand. Kristen leads our mobilisation and engagement activities, where she works with communities across Australia who are leading the charge in building a national electrification movement. Kristen sat down with Sabra Lane on Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC)'s The Bright Side podcast to explain why households and communities are key to accelerating the switch to clean energy and why volunteers are the heroes in the #electrifyeverything movement.

Congratulations to Rewiring Australia on the official launch of the Electrify 2515 Community Pilot – a groundbreaking step toward a fully electrified Australia. AMR Clean Community Energy is excited to watch the progress and looks forward to partnering with Rewiring Australia to bring electrification to Margaret River. Watch this space!
We are excited to be in Wollongong to support the official launch of the Electrify 2515 Community Pilot! The ground-breaking project will see 500 homes in the Illawarra region of NSW electrified, after a two-year campaign led by the local community. The Electrify 2515 Community Pilot is an $11.8 million partnership between Rewiring Australia, Brighte, and Endeavour Energy with $5.4 million in federal funding through the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA). The project is a major step towards electrifying all Australian households to reduce energy bills and emissions. It was an honour to be joined by Federal Minister for Climate Change and Energy Chris Bowen, Federal Member for Cunningham Alison Byrne, Brighte CEO Katherine McConnell, Endeavour Energy CEO Guy Chalkley and ARENA CEO Darren Miller, not to mention Laura Scalafiotti - founding Electrify 2515 volunteer and Thirroul resident, join our chief scientist Saul Griffith and executive director Dan Cass for the official launch. The pilot will provide real-world data on a concentrated and rapid electrification of a community, measuring consumer behaviour, attitudes and energy bill savings. Find out more about the project via the 2515 website. We’ll also be providing updates on the Pilot via our regular monthly newsletter and social media channels. https://lnkd.in/gsnKc2zr 📸 Photo credit: Endeavour Energy

Augusta Margaret River Clean Community Energy reposted this
Households are the heroes in our clean energy transition, and this new report by Clean Energy Council proves just that, showing consumers are installing four times more electricity generation through rooftop solar in the first half of 2024, than all the commercial projects combined! https://lnkd.in/gJnc9Zsd
