Fabulous example of local #community #renewableenergy in action in the Danish island of Samso. A renewable energy revolution and a #fossil-free future for the island. C'mon #NZ - we really need to see this here. buff.ly/30UAHD7. #communityenergy

NZ - shift from centralised #energy provision to #communityenergy networks (renewable energy networks with community decision making/local ownership). Most countries we benchmark NZ against have solid community energy sectors. Example: check out Australia. buff.ly/2E7GjAV

We love what Home Energy Scotland does. Funded by the Scottish Govt, NZ must follow this and other international examples of Govt agencies, industry and NGOs collaborating with communities directly to solve #energyhardship & create true #energy democracy. buff.ly/33yBbmv

See Our Energy's collab with our member Sustainability Trust Our Energy is an electricity retailer. Their online platform matches people producing electricity with others in the community - its a easy way to buy, sell & gift clean local energy. #communityenergy! buff.ly/3xNYghD

#NZ has a big problem with #energyhardship - where people live in such poor quality homes they can't afford the cost of keeping their home warm and dry. The Govt is setting up an Energy Hardship Expert Panel & Reference Group to help. We're looking forward to results! MBIE

We're really looking forward to the results of the Warmer Kiwis Study. Evaluation of government programmes need to happen way more regularly than they currently do.. EECA MBIE buff.ly/3k1pqxe

NZ’s electricity supply began in 1888 in Reefton. From then till early 1990s, #NZ #electricity was mostly about community – locally owned generation & transmission distributed to community. Why we need to evolve our #energy sector back to #communityenergy buff.ly/3q463Y1

Our member @Awarua Synergy did HUGE work this year towards installing insulation/heating into Southland homes. Low-incomers can have insulation/heating up to 95% subsidised. buff.ly/2YzXSHm

Heaps of #Southland homes have no heating in main living area - & the region has the largest/oldest houses in NZ & coldest climate. Getting insulation and heating in NZ homes is so important to combat #energyhardship. Lets help people in our communities keep their homes healthy.

Great to have the breadth and depth of experience of work on eliminating energy hardship that Community Energy Network possesses on the reference panel. Fantastic news!

🏠🫂💕We’ll do whatever we can to support the Energy Hardship Expert Panel give its best evidence-based expert advice to government on how to reduce #energyhardship.
