"Most of Australia’s existing homes are old, uncomfortable, and expensive to
run. Too many are energy inefficient, and rising electricity and gas prices are
making things worse.

Mainstream programs are supporting home energy upgrades. But the transition
isn’t happening quickly enough and risks leaving behind the households that
could benefit most.

Innovative finance models could help. My new research shows how local
initiatives can make solar and electrification more accessible."
