"Efficient electrification of Victorian homes could slash residential gas
demand by nearly two-thirds within 10 years, a new report has found, as
pressure mounts on the state government to take the next step in phasing out
the fossil fuel.
The modelling, undertaken by Climateworks Centre for the Energy Efficiency
Council (EEC), finds that home electrification and energy efficiency
improvements could drive a 64% drop in residential gas demand between 2025 and
2035.
In turn, the reduction of fossil gas use in Victorian homes could free up an
average of 72 petajoules (PJ) a year through to 2035, the analysis shows, to
support industries facing high prices and gas supply shortfalls."
