Electrifying Bradfield is about doing what we can to support adoption of renewable energy within the Upper North Shore. We have a vision of a cleaner, cheaper energy future made possible by the electrification of our houses and transport. This vision is heavily influenced by Saul Griffiths and 'Rewiring Australia'.
Electrifying Bradfield works mainly using volunteer time. Contributing $50 goes a long way to helping us run solar information nights, attend markets and fairs and provide educational materials.
Note that Electrifying Bradfield is a not-for-profit, although not a certified charity (DGR).
