Newcastle Labor councillors propose initiatives for equitable renewable energy access and home electrification to address rising costs and extreme weather.

Newcastle Labor councillors are advocating for equitable access to renewable energy and home electrification, particularly for residents facing rising energy costs and extreme weather. A council motion seeks to explore community energy sharing, home retrofitting, and affordable solar PV access.
