Maori & Public Housing Renewable Energy Fund

Last updated: 4 April 2022

Solar panels and other renewable technology will support more than 200 homes of kaumatua, papakainga and Maori-owned rentals to provide cheaper power, better quality of homes, and valuable data. The projects help families and small communities with the long-term benefits of low cost solar panels. 

 

The small scale projects will generate approximately 700 KW of solar electricity and provide cheaper power to more than 200 households, with many using innovative micro-grid solutions.

 

Fifteen initiatives will receive funding for renewable energy projects in the Fund’s first round ($2.8m). In total $14 million will go to renewable energy projects for Maori housing over the next four years.
