In the absence of a state-wide ban on new gas connections, local councils in NSW are using their planning powers to ban new connections.

Putting a date on when new gas connections are to be banned, and when existing gas connections will be phased out, provides certainty for households, government and the gas industry.

In response to Victoria’s announcement that new gas connections will be banned from January 2024, the gas industry has ramped up its attack on electrification, by peddling misinformation, fear, uncertainty, and denial.

Bans on new gas connections in the ACT and Victoria will eventually force the residential gas industry to face its own demise, but right now, they're refusing to go quietly.

400 residential and business customers had just one year to electrify after the local gas distribution company made a business decision to cut the gas off to the town of Esperance.

Moving housing away from gas is an important step in the transition to a zero-carbon economy. Careful management is needed to ensure the transition is effective, accepted and fair.

The state with the highest residential use of fossil gas in Australia has called time on new gas connections, and announced a program to help deliver energy efficient, all-electric homes.
