Electrification of Government Gas Assets Program
About the program
The Electrification of Gas Assets (EoGGA) Program is a 17-year commitment by the ACT Government to replace all gas-powered assets used within Government owned and operated buildings.
The program will abolish and electrify over 1,000 gas assets and will contribute to the goal of net zero emissions from Government operations by 2040.

Why it’s important
The program will help the ACT to meet legislated net zero emissions targets.
Centralising the coordination of work needed across government to replace gas-powered assets ensures it is prioritised efficiently, supports sector readiness and achieves optimal value for money for the Territory.
