Go Electric: Behavioural and Structural Policy Approaches to Speed ACT Households’ Gas to Electric Transition

The ‘Go Electric’ white paper will provide structural and behavioural policy options to speed a just transition for ACT households from gas to electric appliances, taking climate change mitigation and adaptation factors into account. Consumers are motivated by different value propositions, and experience different barriers to acting on those motivations. Original research will be conducted to understand the behavioural and material barriers different Canberra household segments face, in the context of perceived and actual energy security risk from increasing climate change impacts. Tailored policy options to overcome the barriers specific household segments face will be proposed to accelerate the shift.
