The Gas Industry Company recently released a report showing how much it would cost to switch off the gas network and move to electric options. There were plenty of inaccuracies and unrealistic assumptions. It also completely ignored the role of rooftop solar to bring electricity costs down.

You can read our response to that report here.

And you can see a number of case studies showing households saving thousands every year on their energy bills by getting off gas, petrol and diesel, embracing electric space and water heating, cooking and driving, and installing solar and batteries.

So, are you going to believe these New Zealanders who have told their story to a fiercely independent organisation that works to reduce bills for customers? Or are you going to believe an industry that's trying everything it can to prop up a declining business?

Don't invest in the wrong tech. Kick Old Man Gas to the curb and make your next purchasing decision electric.
