Community Energy Activator presentation evening

Nau mai, tauti mai

Join us to hear from nine community groups participating in the inaugural Community Energy Activator pilot. Over 12 weeks, they have been on a journey to explore their local context and community energy aspirations, learn about the opportunities offered by different community energy models, and discovered what it takes to make these visions a reality.

This pilot, a collaboration between Ara Ake, Orion, and the Community Energy Network, is designed to empower local communities to engage in and benefit from real-world energy projects, advancing the region toward a net-zero future. Participants have received guidance from a variety of speakers, navigators, and community energy groups from across New Zealand.
