Energy Queensland is urging residential customers to have their say through its annual Queensland Household Energy Survey.
Chief Executive of the Government-owned Corporation, Rod Duke said understanding the potential for change at the micro level helped its members, Energex, Ergon Energy Network and Powerlink Queensland, with macro planning.
“We want to support our customers’ choices now and into the future, whether it’s making the switch to an electric vehicle (EV) or installing rooftop solar, so the more we understand their motivations and intentions the better we can prepare for the deep electrification of homes and businesses across the State,” Mr Duke said.
“The Queensland Household Energy Survey is an opportunity for you to tell us about your electric life, your priorities and what’s on the horizon.”
He said that since the inaugural survey in 2009 rooftop solar rates had soared.
The 2022 results suggested there was an increasing interest in home battery energy storage systems to capitalise on that earlier investment.
“Last year, 71 per cent of survey participants in the market for a new vehicle said they would consider purchasing an EV,” Mr Duke said.
“While the technology connected to our networks is changing, our commitment to delivering a safe, secure, affordable and sustainable electricity supply to our customers and communities remains.”
Chief Executive of Powerlink, Paul Simshauser said the survey was an opportunity for people to have their say on the State’s new energy future.
“Queensland is a vast State with a diverse economy and communities, so we want the survey results to truly reflect the wide range of customers connected to our networks,” Mr Simshauser said.
The Queensland Household Energy Survey can be accessed on this PS News link and is open until 16 April.
