25.01.2022 Did you know that an Australian-made hydrogen fuel vehicle will be available next year? An auto-tech startup called H2X set up its factory at Port Kembla around six months ago and aims to be producing heavy vehicles within the next couple of months. Read more about the future of hydrogen-powered vehicles here: http://bit.ly/2M6GjJ6

23.01.2022 There are some simple things that you can do to your home to improve energy efficiency, and therefore, energy usage. 1. Improve insulation within the home. 2. Invest in better windows, for example, those with double glazing. ... 3. Upgrade old heaters, air-conditioners, hot-water units, and other household appliances to more energy-efficient appliances. 4. Improve airflow around the home. 5. Choose light exterior colours for the walls and roof. To read more about home energy efficiency, check out our latest blog: http://bit.ly/38qA1vB

22.01.2022 The Victorian Government's home energy-saving package outlines a real push for solar energy systems for both households and businesses and an underlying message that older appliances need to be replaced by more energy-efficient ones.

20.01.2022 The Federal Government has made a lot of announcements over the past few months. And, a lot of what the Government has been talking about lately, in regard to the energy sector, is based on its contention that our competitive advantage has always been based on affordable, reliable energy.

19.01.2022 Here are five hot water thermostat facts you should know about: 1. It’s estimated that 21 per cent of the energy used in the average Australian home is attributable to heating water. 2. The temperature your thermostat should be set at depends on whether you have a storage or continuous flow system.... 3. If your system is running at a higher temperature than it needs to be you might be able to turn the thermostat down a little. 4. You have to be careful with electric hot water systems and make sure you’re not removing any panels that have an electrical warning on them. 5. Every hot water system is a little different: some will have a dial-type thermostat you can adjust yourself, but others will require the help of a plumber. Read more: https://bit.ly/2Q27jYs

19.01.2022 We’ve all had a lot on our minds over the past couple of months. It’s hardly ‘breaking news’ that more Australians have found themselves facing more challenges than ever before. But what does the future look like post-COVID-19? https://bit.ly/3eSWYbA

19.01.2022 The reading of meters is outside our control, which is why we have asked our valued customers to be flexible and understanding that the frequency of some meter reads has been reduced. So, thank you for your patience and thanks to the meter readers and local distributors who have been keeping things going as best they can in these difficult times.

18.01.2022 If your hot water system is running at a higher temperature than it needs to be, then it’s costing you more money than it should. So, what do you need to know to get it right, and can you adjust it yourself, if need be? Read more: https://bit.ly/2Q27jYs

16.01.2022 As rooftop solar increases, we’re seeing much greater generation coming from areas never designed to cope and the grid is being put under severe strain as it tries to manage extreme and regular fluctuations. Read more: https://bit.ly/2WTRF5o

16.01.2022 As a greater proportion of our energy mix is coming from renewable sources and less from coal-fired power plants, the reliability and predictability of supply is less than it once was. With the landscape changing, there's still some work to be done to secure our energy future. Read more about Australia's energy future here: http://bit.ly/2M6Mo83

14.01.2022 We’re always on the lookout for innovation in the energy space, so we had to investigate something we were hearing whispers about: getting free energy through your smartphone. Harnessing this energy would enable GloBird to reduce energy costs! Read more about this latest development here: https://www.globirdenergy.com.au/free-energy-via-your-smar/

14.01.2022 Thanks Mozo Experts Choice Awards. We humbly accept your awards ... again

13.01.2022 Ideally, where would you locate one of the world’s largest renewable energy systems? A company called Sun Cable is developing the world’s largest solar energy infrastructure, including a massive undersea cable to deliver energy from Darwin to Singapore. It promises not only cheaper electricity, but more reliable electricity supply and, of course, greener energy for places that have previously not had much access to that.

12.01.2022 Hydrogen vehicles produce energy internally using a fuel cell. The battery in a hydrogen-powered vehicle is much smaller and lighter than one in a fully electric car as it is constantly recharged by the fuel cell so doesn’t need to store as much energy.

12.01.2022 Did you know that the largest battery in the southern hemisphere is coming to Victoria? This means potentially cheaper energy prices for you in the future, as we'll have the means to store energy - double win!! Read more about Victoria's Big Battery and what that means for you: https://bit.ly/3pDGJ8q

12.01.2022 Houses with higher energy ratings are more naturally comfortable in winter and summer, and therefore easier and cheaper to heat and cool. And, some simple changes to your existing home can have a significant impact on energy usage and bills and, therefore, your energy star rating. Read more about home energy ratings and what you can do here: http://bit.ly/38qA1vB

10.01.2022 A couple of weeks ago (June 11) the Australian Energy Market Commission released its final determination and rules on wholesale demand response, noting that the rules will take effect in October 2021. This came despite some major players in the energy sector lobbying for reforms to be delayed, citing the impact of COVID-19 as a mitigating factor. Read more: https://bit.ly/2B7eavI

09.01.2022 There’s no question that our energy infrastructure is changing and will keep doing so for the foreseeable future. Most of these advances in technology promise cheaper electricity, as well as greater accessibility, and greater stability of supply. After all, what sort of ‘advance’ would it be if it didn’t make things better and produce cheaper energy? An Australian consortium, including the CSIRO, is developing new materials and processes to produce thin, flexible, and semi-tr...ansparent solar cells based on printable 'solar inks'.

09.01.2022 If you haven’t been one of those people filling your home isolation time by cleaning everything in sight, now might be the time to do something like a traditional spring clean. There are so many appliances around the average home that we hardly give a second thought to, however pretty much all of them will not only last longer but also run more efficiently if they’re clean. Read more here: https://bit.ly/3jNbRyy

08.01.2022 Spring cleaning came about for some very logical reasons. Its origin was about letting some air through the house, doing the long-overdue dusting, and washing soot off everything. But, these days, spring cleaning is as much a chance to rearrange things around the home, maybe do a bit of a cull of stuff you don’t need any more that’s just cluttering up the place, and basically make a concerted effort to get a bit more organised. Plus, did we mention saving on energy costs?! ... Read more: https://bit.ly/3jNbRyy

07.01.2022 While we all know that winter is coming, it’s understandable that we’re somehow never quite prepared when it really hits. And, that may also explain why many people are surprised, some to the point of being shocked, when their gas bills rise. Read more about what winter means for your gas bill in our latest blog post: https://www.globirdenergy.com.au/what-winter-means-for-you/

02.01.2022 Some appliances that are used regularly should be cleaned at least every three months (how often do you clean your vacuum cleaner?), but rather than feeling guilty that you don’t do it often enough, just make sure you do it really well when you do it. And, while it’s great to have clean and shiny appliances, this is more about making sure they’re working efficiently so they don’t use more energy.

02.01.2022 As we deal with the ongoing challenges of a COVID-19 world, those of us living in areas that weren’t badly impacted by last summer’s devastating bushfires may have all but forgotten how bad things were for several months. As temperatures soared and bushfires raged on the east coast, the Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO) had to intervene an unprecedented 178 times. Is this the new normal for Australia's energy network?... Read more: https://bit.ly/2Deyf40

01.01.2022 Last month the most populous US state, with 40 million residents, endured a week-long heatwave that resulted in rolling blackouts. The simple explanation for why that happened is that California, which has long been seen as one of the most progressive states, has embraced renewable energy sources more rapidly than almost anywhere else.

01.01.2022 Even though the colder days and longer nights generally see us use more electricity and gas, high bills caused by high usage can still be an unpleasant surprise. This year the lockdown has exaggerated the likelihood of bill shock, given so many of us have been stuck at home with heaters cranked without keeping an eye on our usage. Even though it’s rare, there are examples of a big bill being caused by a gas leak. If you're worried you're using too much gas, find out more here: https://bit.ly/30bzZUc
