Electrify Hawke's Bay

Empowering Hawke's Bay to make informed energy choices

Our mission is to help households and businesses lower their power bills, improve efficiency, and navigate the cost-of-living crisis by switching to renewable electricity generation like solar.
Energy independence is a no-brainer. Whether for sustainability, financial savings, or resilience, with Hawke’s Bay’s abundant sunshine, we have the power to take climate action while reducing costs.
It’s time to harness the sun and electrify our future!


Electrification opportunities are ripe for the picking:


Solar
You can get a good idea of the generation potential for your property with the free PVWatts Calculator.
Get quotes from some of our leading local solar installers and you can have solar installed and paying your electricity bills within a few weeks. Discounted financing for solar is available alongside a mortgage at all the major banks.


Hawke’s Bay is in the top five regions for solar uptake, 5% of properties now have solar installed (Electricity Authority). Typical domestic solar sizes are 5 – 10 kW with installed prices around $2,000 per kW.


Electric Vehicles
EVs are an excellent way to decarbonise and reduce reliance on imported fuels. Talk to your favourite vehicle dealer about their EV options or get in contact with the nearest EV specialist Drive EV in Taupo.
Electric Vehicles are the largest opportunity for emissions reduction and cost savings for most households and they come with many bonus benefits that are only understood once you get behind the wheel!

Home Heating and Hot Water
Adopting heat pump technology for hot water or home heating will reduce energy consumption considerably due to the very high efficiency.
