Join the qea community
Get your neighbourhood plugged in
Electrification works best when it’s driven by strong community effort. Get your neighbourhood plugged into cheaper bills, cleaner air, and improved resilience.
Electrify 2515 in Australia is a world-class example of this. While the QEA non-profit focuses on unlocking electrification for all by progressing the above initiatives, success hinges on the community working symbiotically to spread the word and rally support for those initiatives.
Learn about how to get involved in a community group near you, or come to an upcoming event about electrification put on for the community by the Queenstown Electrification Accelerator.
What does the QEA Community Group do?

Spreads the word about the QEA and its initiatives.
For example, sharing about our events, discount packages, free online tools and resources, etc.

This ensures that the initiatives that we develop work for everyone.
Advocates to the council and MPs
