Margaret River Readers & Writers Festival and Electrify Augusta Margaret River presents… 

Plug In! An Electrifying Afternoon with Saul Griffith

Part of the Fairer & Faster Tour

Date: Saturday 13 September 2025

 We all know the future is electric – but what does that mean for your home, your car, and your hot water system? 

Join us for a special in-conversation event with ‘Rewiring Australia’s Dr Saul Griffith’ , award-winning engineer, inventor and bestselling author of The Big Switch, as he launches his powerful new handbook: Plug In!: The Electrification Handbook. With wit, clarity and data-backed solutions, Saul will take us through five key decisions every household can make to transition away from fossil fuels – and why this movement is more urgent and empowering than ever. 

From solar to EVs, induction cooktops to heat pumps, Plug In! is your go-to guide to electrifying your life. Saul will share practical tips, visionary ideas and insights from his work as founder of Rewiring America and Rewiring Australia, where he champions large-scale policy and grassroots action to accelerate our clean energy future. 

In conversation with local sustainability advocate Pam Townsend, this is a must-attend for anyone curious about energy, climate and how everyday choices can drive national change. Whether you’re a renter, homeowner, tradie, or just electrification-curious, this event will leave you fired up and ready to plug in.
