Research your next water heater BEFORE you need it for real energy savings. 🕵️💲

Research your next water heater BEFORE you need it for real energy savings. 🕵️💲

If you’re in the market for a new water heater, a little research can help you find the right system for your home. 🚿

Water heaters account for up to a quarter of the energy use in Australian households. This makes choosing an energy-efficient product key. 💡

While water heaters don’t have to carry an Australian Government Energy Rating Label, you can still compare registered products at energyrating.gov.au.

It is also good to consider:
• product reviews
• warranties
• rebates to help offset the cost.

Knowing your options can save a lot of undue stress! 😱

A reliable and well-planned EV charging network will be critical to supporting Australia's transport transition.

Under our Driving the Nation program, $1.06 million in ARENA funding will support the development of a new National EV Charging Roadmap report, led by the Electric Vehicle Council.

This project will deliver Australia's first national roadmap to help build understanding for the future planning and deployment of the charging infrastructure needed to support millions more electric vehicles and a growing fleet of electric trucks expected on our roads by 2035.

The final National EV Charging Roadmap is scheduled for release in mid-2027.

Stakeholders who want to contribute to the Roadmap are encouraged to sign up for project updates and consultation opportunities: https://brnw.ch/21x6m7l
