MAKE THE SHIFT TO 100% RENEWABLE ENERGY

Electrifying your life

Hepburn Energy and BREAZE Inc are working together to help communities across the Grampians – Central West region to save money, improve comfort and switch to cheaper electric appliances. 

Until June 2026, we will deliver a community-focused program helping locals to take advantage of  Government sponsored incentives to get off gas and electrify your home or community facility. This project is funded under the Community Electrification Engagement Program – a Sustainability Victoria program delivered on behalf of the Victorian Government. 

The Region comprises the 11 Local Government areas of Ararat, Ballarat, Golden Plains, Hepburn, Moorabool, Pyrenees, Hindmarsh, Horsham, Northern Grampians, West Wimmera and Yarriambiack. It also spans traditional lands of the Dja Dja Wurrung, Eastern Maar, Gunditjmara, Wadawurrung, Wurundjeri and Wotjobaluk peoples.
