Webinar: How to halve renters’ energy bills

Thursday 18 June | 1:00–2:00pm (Sydney, Melbourne, Canberra)

Jay Gordon and Kellie Caught

Renters make up over 30% of Australian households, yet they risk losing out amid the mass uptake of rooftop solar, batteries and other energy upgrades. The root cause is the “split incentive” problem, where landlords have little or nothing to gain from investing in energy efficiency because tenants are responsible for paying the energy bills.

In this webinar, IEEFA Australia’s Johanna Bowyer will facilitate an informative conversation with Jay Gordon, IEEFA Energy Finance Analyst, Australian Electricity, and Kellie Caught, Program Director, Climate and Energy, ACOSS. The discussion will focus on practical, cost-effective home energy upgrades that can drastically reduce renters’ energy bills, and the key policy initiatives to enable them.

The resulting benefits may extend well beyond the rental market, with significant savings in gas and peak electricity demand offering an opportunity to reduce energy system costs for all consumers.

There will also be a live Question & Answer session. 

The webinar will be recorded and shared with all registrants.
