A zero-emission, sustainable, and resilient community with equitable access to energy.
To promote, support, and manage the use of renewable energy sources, such that the people of Whakaraupō Lyttelton Harbour have agency over the supply, generation, and distribution of that energy.
Read moreIt just made sense for us to go solar. With both of us at home we could use the power when it was generated.
Read moreWe have roof-top solar and a storage battery. Cooking and hot water heating are electric. A ULEB wood fire heats the whole house, with a heat pump used very occasionally. We drive an EV and a PHEV which are charged at home.
Resilience & local independence
Life in an earthquake zone can leave our community without power. LETS could provide a path to the reliable independence of a mini-grid tied to the national grid.
Reduced costs
As a PPA LETS could buy & sell for and from local power producers and consumers in Whakaraupō.
We are also investigating local energy storage options.
green energy
Working to increase local energy production through renewable sources, to reducing local energy usage and towards making Whakaraupō energy net zero.
