The extension of the Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU) program to 2045 creates a major opportunity for businesses to support households in transitioning from gas to electric solutions. With ongoing incentives for energy-efficient appliances like heat pumps and electric stoves, this initiative helps consumers cut energy bills and reduce emissions. “A household that replaces a gas ducted heating system with an electric heat pump can get a cost deduction of up to $3,600." “This action delivers emissions reductions, better comfort and health and immediate cost-of-living relief.” By partnering with BOOM! Power, we simplify the home electrification journey, enabling businesses to assist homeowners in making informed, cost-effective upgrades. 🚀 Ready to lead the charge?

Had an amazing day with the team last week! 🌟 We took a break from the usual grind to grab lunch together, unwind, and have a bit of fun at the arcade. It wasn’t just about the games—though the air hockey & Mario Kart battles did get pretty competitive! 😅 We also set aside time for a meaningful session facilitated by Minds at Work, where we explored what we wanted to achieve together as a team. We dove into our vision, shared our goals, and discussed the kind of culture we want to build. It was inspiring to see how aligned we are in creating a space where everyone feels valued, motivated, and supported. It’s moments like these that remind me that great teams aren’t just built through hard work; they’re built through shared experiences and a common purpose with a passion to have a positive impact on people and the environment. Feeling energised about where we’re headed and so grateful to work with such an awesome bunch of people every day! Here’s to more growth, success, and plenty more fun outings in the future, BOOM! 🚀 Alex Houlston David Perry Darren Knihnicki Liz Greenbank Martin Paulo Candace Wong Carla Callista Dannielle Browne Glenn Phillips Lisa Smith Jason Clarke #teambuilding #growth #startup #workplaceculture #leadership #employeeengagement

🚀 We had an exciting BOOM Peloton Session on SA Power Networks’ Energy Masters Pilot! This initiative is revolutionising electrification and demand flexibility for customers. Key Takeaways: • Demand flexibility and whole-of-home energy management will be key to enabling more electrification and decarbonising the economy • Home energy management will help leverage rooftop solar, the world’s cheapest form of generation • Enabling more Customer Energy Resources (CER) to be connected to the grid - while reducing the network augmentation - reduces costs to all customers (even those without CER) • The ability to optimise energy use over a large number of appliances + vehicles (and integrate with flexible retail plans and network signals) could support greater efficiency and cost savings Interoperability is key to ensuring customers can access maximum benefit of their CER investment while enabling them to ‘plug and play’ different appliances, home energy management systems and retail offers without ‘lock-in’ 🎉 A big thank you to our speakers Jonathan Leake and Daniel Redman, CFA from ActewAGL and everyone who participated and shared their insights. Together, we’re shaping the future of energy! 📹 Missed the session?
