This report offers an overview of consumer perspectives on Australia’s energy transition.
While households are broadly supportive of the transition to renewable energy, believing it will be good for Australia overall and for the environment, many remain unclear about what it means for them. This highlights the need for a clear, aligned narrative on what the energy transition means for households, especially since the transition’s success will depend on their participation.
Consumer perspectives on Australia's energy transition is the first report release from our December 2024 Consumer Energy Report Card survey.
think the transition to renewables will be good for Australia overall (just 18% thought it would be bad)

feel confident that the country has a well-planned approach to managing the energy transition
think making houses more efficient is important for reducing emissions
The survey methodology is published here.
