Upcoming Events
Rewiring Aotearoa is bringing their Ecosystem Lead to Raglan 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.
Join Christchurch Envirohub's monthly drinks networking event, featuring Jenny, Data Generalist and Project Manager at Rewiring Aotearoa, for a timely and thought-provoking kōrero about electrification — and why Aotearoa is closer to an electric future than we might think.
We have the sunshine. We have the technology. So what could a renewable future for Aotearoa look like?
Join us as Jay Salzke, Ecosystem Lead at Rewiring Aotearoa, explores how electrifying our homes and communities could reduce power bills, strengthen our energy security, and help shape New Zealand's future.
Whether you're curious about renewable energy, rooftop solar, electrification, or simply want to understand the conversation better, everyone is welcome.

We are excited to extend an invitation to all members of the New Zealand electrical industry to join us at the NZ Electrical Conference 2025.
This year, as we mark our 100th anniversary, we have designed a conference that not only celebrates our rich heritage, but also paves the way for future innovation. We’ll kick things off by jumping into the future at our very unique welcome celebration.
Our lineup of keynote speakers features Lance Burdett, who will offer valuable insights that challenge and broaden your perspective on how we approach various concepts. Sir Ian Taylor will then give you a taste of what the future holds for the electrical industry.
But the experience doesnt stop there...
We’re also taking you beyond the conference room to visit the Southern Hemisphere’s only fully electric orchard—the Electric Cherry Farm, hosted by Mike Casey. This visit is a hands-on demonstration of sustainable innovation that you won’t want to miss.
We’ll cap off the weekend with a spectacular centenary celebration, honouring a century of excellence and lighting the way to a brighter future.

The Queenstown Electrification Accelerator team is part of WAO’s Better Building Day programme.
In this interactive workshop, co-hosted with TMCo, we’ll explore how different building types perform, their energy efficiency, and how core systems, such as heating and cooling, hot water, cooking, and on-site generation like solar, influence both energy use and emissions. You’ll learn how to identify opportunities to reduce energy waste, upgrade to electrified solutions such as heat pumps and induction, and integrate renewable generation and storage.
The session will focus on how these design and retrofit choices can cut operating costs, improve occupant comfort, and future-proof buildings in a world rapidly shifting to clean electricity.
