Perth Branch

We’re doing our best, here in the West, to promote Renew’s mission of transforming Australian homes for climate and energy resilience, and you are very welcome to join us. All are welcome at our regular Renew Perth Branch talks and events.

We’re keen to mesh ourselves into the whole network of like-minded organisations. We’d love to hear from other Perth and WA organisations with a sustainability focus, to start building all the synergies that we can.

How Josh Pays Just $612 Per Year for Electricity, Gas, & Petrol

Renew Perth Branch met at The Meeting Place Community Centre in South Fremantle on 18 October at 6pm.

We were excited to hear about inspiring stories of energy efficiency and sustainability:

How Josh Pays Just $612 Per Year for Electricity, Gas, & Petrol:

Follow Professor Josh Mylne’s incredible journey as he transitioned his family to a fully electric home, reducing their annual energy costs to just $612.

Perth Branch Convenor, Carlos Acuna, will also be sharing his personal experience of importing a used electric vehicle from Japan for a fraction of the cost of buying locally, along with valuable lessons learned along the way.
