Electrify Wairarapa

We are a community led, not for profit initiative with local volunteers who have personal experience of making the change to electric vehicles, installing solar panels and batteries, switching to hot water heat pumps and other electric appliances in their own homes, farms and communities.
We have reached an 'electrification tipping point’ where households and businesses can save money and significantly reduce their emissions by switching to electric appliances and vehicles. Our goal is to accelerate an equitable transition to an electrified economy in the Wairarapa that benefits the wellbeing of our communities and contributes to tackling climate change.
We are keen to help people across both urban and rural Wairarapa to understand what this could mean for them, so they can make informed decisions about how to reduce their own energy costs and carbon emissions.
