Geoff Lodge, CEO of GV Community Energy, is one of the guest speakers at Tatura's Nurturing Nature event on Sunday 23 August 2026, in Tatura's Cussen Park and the Tatura Italian Social Club.

Goeff will be joining Costa Georgiadis to talk about the Electrify Hume project, managed by GV Community Energy on behalf of the Hume Community Energy Network, and funded by Sustainability Victoria under the Victorian government’s Community Engagement Electrification Program.

The Electrify Hume project focussed on educating the community on the benefits of transitioning to an all-electric home to reduce utility bills and achieve “Warm in winter, cool in summer and clean air all year round”.

Transitioning to an all-electric home can:
👉Save $2,000/year on lower utility bills
👉Improve air quality inside the home by removing gas fumes
👉Improve comfort by incorporating improvements in draught proofing, insulation upgrades and upgrading to electric appliances
