Electricity is up. Gas is through the roof. Petrol is insane. It’s time to fight back 🤺

In Island Bay and across Aotearoa New Zealand, it keeps getting more expensive to heat our homes and water, cook our meals and get around, but it’s easier than you think to save money on your energy bills by upgrading to electric appliances and vehicles.

Our data shows that most houses in Island Bay could save thousands on energy bills every year while reducing emissions and improving resilience. By swapping old gas and petrol machines for modern electric equivalents (and, if you can, powering them with solar and batteries), we can get a win-win-win.

Rewiring Aotearoa is bringing experts from our team to Island Bay to break down the ‘electrification tipping point’, show real-world examples and answer questions you have about how going electric is the smartest, cheapest, strongest and healthiest way to power your life.

⚡ GIVEAWAY

We’re giving away some incredible prizes to make your electrification journey even easier – including EV chargers, heat pumps and full solar setups – everyone who attends an event and leaves their details will go in the draw to win!

🥗KAI

We’ll provide free food to power you, while we chat about powering your house.
