The case for energy loans: read our latest explainer
Our ERP2 submission outlines what we think needs to be done to improve the Government's plan to reach our climate targets, electrify the Aotearoa New Zealand economy and build a fairer future energy system for New Zealanders that saves people money and does not leave anyone behind.
What’s the deal?
The Government has released a discussion document outlining how it plans to meet our emissions targets and has asked for submissions.

Get in behind
If you want changes to be made to ERP2, Rewiring Aotearoa has created a public submission guide here with some hints and tips on how to make your voice heard (and what you might want to ask for).
Every submission is important. So make your feelings known and help make the case for rapid emissions reductions through electrification.
Submissions have been extended to August 25.
