Going all-electric?
Have you been thinking about transitioning your home to all-electric but unsure where to start?
You might enjoy this fun video, and share it with your networks!
The Scorecard tool now has an all-electric feature which allows Scorecard Assessors to set the tool to provide electric-only upgrade recommendations for their customers.
With a Scorecard assessment you will get detailed information on your home's energy performance and expert advice from a government-accredited assessor, targeted to your home and individual circumstances.
Scorecard Assessors are energy efficiency experts who provide a clear pathway for householders to achieve their electrification goals. If you’re planning to go all-electric, they’ll guide you through the process and help you achieve a cheaper to run, cleaner, greener and more comfortable home.
Scorecard acknowledges the support provided by the ACT government in initiating and funding the required modifications to the tool to support all-electric recommendations, the development of associated training resources and production of communications collateral.
Victorian households can now receive a discounted Scorecard assessment
On May 31, the Home Energy Rating Assessment (HERA) activity became available under the Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU) program. This means households are now able to access rebates for a Residential Efficiency Scorecard assessment.
The inclusion of the HERA activity in the VEU program received widespread support from business and community. Scorecard was identified as the only tool that currently meets the required features, and therefore is the first HERA tool to be incentivised.
To access a reduced-cost Scorecard assessment for their home, householders can contact a VEU registered assessor or Accredited Provider (AP).
Local government and Scorecard
On May 30 the Scorecard team ran a live webinar for local government areas (LGAs) with 133 registrations from across Australia. The session covered the basics of Scorecard, how Scorecard can help LGAs achieve their goals, and shared information about current LGA programs. There was an excellent level of engagement with several LGAs requesting meetings to discuss starting their own programs using Scorecard.
We received many requests for the webinar recording, so to make it easy we have added it and the slide deck to the local government page on our website. Please share this link with your LGA contacts!
There are local governments across Australia already running programs using Scorecard:

Scorecard at the National Energy Efficiency Conference
Energy efficiency specialists from across Australia attended the National Energy Efficiency Conference in Sydney at the end of May.
Scorecard team members networked with stakeholders making many connections, particularly with energy efficiency groups from other jurisdictions.
David Craven, Scorecard manager, presented and took part in a panel discussion in the ‘Building the business model for retrofitting’ session. The presentation was well received, with an engaged discussion with both audience and panel members.
The department’s stall was well-equipped with Scorecard collateral and a TV displayed some of our high-ranking videos, helping to educate attendees.
Here we see Scorecard manager David Craven in the panel discussion hot seat!
