Energy resilience (Te Ngao)

Energy resilience (Te Ngao) aims to enhance energy security while reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

Boosting energy resilience means expanding local renewable generation, improving energy efficiency, and transitioning to community-led solutions like microgrids and solar networks that will help keep energy local and reliable.

We support community-led projects that amplify local energy generation, reduce reliance on fossil fuels and lower energy costs. Projects that enable communities to invest in and manage their own renewable energy sources, and share the benefits locally.
