Australia’s household energy bills will halve by 2050, modelling suggests
The Guardian • 10/12/2025 • Last cited 10/21/2025
Summary
A report by the Grattan Institute suggests that Australian household energy bills could halve by 2050 due to the increased adoption of solar panels, batteries, and electric vehicles, potentially easing living cost pressures and allowing for more climate action. The modelling indicates that aligning greenhouse gas emissions from electricity generation with climate goals will contribute to this reduction.
