Electrify Wolli Creek

Anyone that lives in or owns in an apartment understands that it's complex to upgrade from gas too all electric. BUT that doesn’t mean we don’t do it. It means we work together to find solutions AND advocate for government support.

Solar Citizens have been working with Wolli Creek residents to explore barriers and opportunities to electrify their apartment buildings. Here’s what they say about the project:

Wolli Creek is NSW's third most population-dense suburb, where 98% of residents live in apartment buildings - the vast majority high-rise and lacking access to consumer energy resources such as rooftop solar, electric vehicle charging, heat pump hot water and induction cooktops.

Electrify Wolli Creek is a community-led initiative aiming to identify the barriers to electrification and renewable energy, explore the potential solutions on offer, and highlight the need for additional government funding and support to bring apartments and strata along on the clean energy transition.

By sharing the learnings from this project we hope to help governments, strata and developers to make informed decisions and ensure current and future apartment residents have access to cleaner, cheaper energy.
