Community Electrification Engagement Program Fund

Sustainability Victoria (SV) is supporting communities to electrify through the Community Electrification Engagement Program Fund. Community organisations that represent their region can apply to deliver an engagement program for households to electrify their appliances. Grants of up to $110,000 are available per Community Energy Group from a total funding pool of $700,000.

Since 2019 we have applied our knowledge and experience with data capture and analytics to optimise energy, sustainability and carbon emissions through electrification. Our hotwatersavings.au website provides accurate, transparent and independent recommendations for low cost and low emission heat pump water heaters (HPWH), modelled from the Australian data we collect on domestic hot water use, temperature and energy consumption.

We model our raw data to the unique circumstances of prospective purchasers in customised reports, accounting for the huge performance variability due to location and hot water consumption profile. Our solution employs sophisticated AI and machine learning models specifically for hot water system analysis that are created by CSIRO.

Recognition of our specialists skills can be demonstrated by us being 1 of only 3 companies approved for the Clean Energy Regulator technical services panel. We are also a member of the Energy Efficiency Council’s Industry Steering Group for HPHW.
