In a submission to a Senate inquiry examining Australia\u2019s residential electrification efforts, Energy Consumers Australia urged the government to consider mandatory information disclosures to warn consumers about \u201cthe potential economic consequences\u201d of buying a new gas appliance.<\/p>\n<p>Recent modelling that Energy Consumers Australia commissioned from the CSIRO found even without solar panels and a battery, households could reduce their annual energy bills by $2,250 by 2030 if they swapped to electric appliances and an electric vehicle. Solar panels and a battery increased the projected saving to $3,500.<\/p>\n<p>In June, the ACT Labor-Greens minority government became the first Australian jurisdiction to introduce legislation prohibiting the use of fossil gas in new homes and businesses. The Victorian Labor government announced it would phase out gas connections for new dwellings from 2024. But in New South Wales, the Minns Labor government has ruled out a ban on new gas connections.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/environment\/2023\/oct\/04\/energy-consumer-lobby-calls-for-australia-wide-ban-on-gas-connections-in-new-homes\">Guardian<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/6-400\/\">Energy consumer lobby calls for Australia-wide ban on gas connections in new homes<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[616,482,575,771],"class_list":["post-117479","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-australia","tag-energy","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-gas"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/117479","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=117479"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/117479\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=117479"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=117479"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=117479"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
