The gas company Jemena has come under fire from environmental groups for offering customers in New South Wales cash incentives to replace their electric home appliances with gas ones.
Customers can claim money back for buying a range of gas appliances, such as $500 for ducted heating, $400 for hot water, $400 for a gas log fire and $100 for a cooktop, with Jemena putting up $250,000 for the promotion.
