Will Victoria’s ‘one-stop-shops’ overcome the hurdles facing household electrification?

When it comes to electrification everyone’s situation is different, and whilst many people are curious about home electrification, others are disinterested or hesitant – it’s seen as too complex, too costly, and too hard to find someone you can trust to do the work. Which is why the Victorian Government announced plans to roll-out ‘one-stop-shops’ that will help householders get accurate information, connect them with accredited installers and products, and apply for government rebates and incentives. Last year the Victorian government relaunched the State Electricity Commission, with a renewables reboot. As well as ramping up renewable generation and storage, the SEC has been tasked with supporting the switch to all-electric households. The partnerships manager at the SEC, Jess Christiansen, discusses how the roll-out of ‘one-stop-shops’ is progressing.
