About the event
This August, Green Drinks turns its focus to energy, a topic that touches all corners of life in Tairāwhiti. With some of the highest power bills in the country and growing concerns around energy resilience, this kōrero couldn't be more timely. Join Rewiring Aotearoa to learn about national efforts helping households and businesses move from fossil fuels to clean, efficient energy solutions.
The session will also spotlight exciting local initiatives like:
Tairāwhiti Distributed Energy Programme: Community-led solar + battery installations across thousands of homes and businesses– Marae Solar Installation Project: Equipping 22 marae with solar power for resilience and independence
The event includes space to mingle, kai to enjoy, and a short interactive workshop to explore energy challenges and solutions for your business or community.
