Electrify 2800 is a group of locals living in the 2800 postcode area, in the Orange and Cabonne LGAs, with a passion for taking practical climate action, lowering our carbon emissions, and helping others to do so. We aim to support local households and businesses to transition from fossil fuel-based appliances to more efficient and less carbon emitting electric appliances.

Household emissions are something about which we can all take action, the solution is in our control. By switching our fossil fuel machines to efficient electric versions and powering them with clean electricity, including rooftop solar, we can reduce our household emissions significantly. This can happen if we plan ahead and transition to electric power when we need to replace our cars, heaters, stoves and other fossil fuel machines over the coming years.

We are an auspice of the Environmentally Concerned Citizens of Orange. The local group has been advocating and campaigning for advancement and protection of our local environment in many ways for nearly 20 years.

ECCO meets monthly on the fourth Wednesday of each month at 7.30pm. Meeting details are posted as a news Item on their website and on our Facebook page.

Sixty percent of Australia’s emissions are domestic and the largest portion of domestic emissions are our households (42.4%). These come from everyday decisions made by households, like the food we eat, how we heat our spaces or travel to work. Almost all of these emissions come from the machines in our daily lives (i.e. petrol cars, gas heaters, gas water heaters, gas stoves, etc), and the fossil fuel power plants attached to Australia’s electricity grid.
