Now have you heard about the push to electrify Australia’s residential sector? It’s a concerted campaign driven by the Australian Government to meet a target where 82 per cent of our energy is generated through renewable sources rather than coal and gas by 2030.

And to hit this target, the vast majority of Australia’s 12 million existing home owners need to switch their homes off fossil fuels and onto solar or wind power. But where on earth do you start? This is something that I’m personally looking at for my home and the options - and the adulting required - is exhausting. 

But my next guest is changing all that. Alex Houlston is the CEO and cofounder of Boom - also known as BoomPower - is an Aussie climate-tech business that delivers building electrification needs all in one platform to simplify electrifying homes, help with decisions and get access to reliable suppliers, while veryifying emission impacts. It’s being used by the banking sector to help their customers plan upgrades to their homes.  

Alex has had an extensive career in the renewable energy sector before starting Boom in 2018 - and I don’t think his timing could have been any better
