Cleaner, fairer, more affordable energy starts with community.

Worried about power bills, and petrol prices?

Want your community to have more say in how energy is made, shared and kept on when it matters most?

Community energy puts power back in local hands, through pathways that include shared solar & wind power, resilience hubs for when the grid goes down, and projects on schools, marae and community spaces.

Join us for a 1-Day Navigator Training, South Auckland to learn more about what it is, how it could look where you live, the Activator process, and most of all how your community can get involved.

No technical experience needed, just a heart for your community.

What is Community Energy?

Simply put, community energy is any clean energy project that is run collaboratively, and whose benefits flow directly back to local people.

This isn't just for neighborhoods—it can also be formed by groups with a shared purpose, like a sports club, church group, or a national co-op. Projects might look like a community battery, an EV bike or car-share, a buyers group, to a micro-grid and power company.

Why attend?

To start the journey of gathering knowledge about the energy sector, how we can participate, and how we can join forces for:

Keeping power and transport prices affordable
Local energy resilience - currently Auckland relies almost only on energy imported or piped in from elsewhere
Making sure renters don't get left out of the clean energy transition; and
Community wealth building - community energy holds important opportunities for local people to lead and collectively-own our power generation, offering employment and prosperity for local people.

Who should come?

Community leaders, residents' associations, community and social service providers, community housing initiatives, local sustainability champions, and anyone who wants a fairer, cleaner and more affordable energy future.

Community Energy Activator & Navigator role

The Community Energy Activator (CEA) is a programme that supports communities across Aotearoa New Zealand to explore, design, and take action on local energy projects.
Navigators play an important role in a CEA. They journey with their group to support, guide and drive, as well as connect the group to ensure they take advantage of the technical expertise available.
This 1-Day Navigator Training is part of our South Auckland Community Energy Activator programme. An awesome opportunity to support local groups ready to explore community energy initiatives they could take on with the guidance of technicians.

Those who go on to be Navigators will inform the design of the Activator series that starts early 2027. This is a paid role to support local community groups keen to understand their options and make plans.

There is no cost to attend the 1-Day Training.
