Submission to the Inquiry into Energy Prices in Tasmania

Oct

2023

The Tasmanian Climate Collective’s submission to the inquiry into Tasmanian energy prices calls for a rapid transition to affordable, zero-emissions energy while ensuring the benefits reach all Tasmanians. It advocates household and transport electrification, phasing out new gas connections, reducing transport costs, and ensuring renewable energy developments deliver tangible community benefits. The submission places particular emphasis on protecting low-income renters and social housing residents from energy poverty through energy-efficient, climate-resilient homes with rooftop solar and battery storage. It also argues that green hydrogen should be prioritised for hard-to-abate industries rather than diverting affordable renewable energy away from Tasmanian households.
