Maori & Public Housing Renewable Energy Fund

The Maori & Public Housing Renewable Energy Fund is an initiative aimed at funding renewable energy technology adoption in Maori and public housing. The initiative also combines energy affordability and efficiency priorities.

A total of NZD 28 million was dedicated to the fund; a further NZD 2 million was dedicated from the Community Renewable Energy Fund to boost the final rounding of fundings.

In total, 50 projects covering more than 2,000 homes were covered by the fund--including 11 public housing centers administered by Kalinga Ora, the New Zealand Public Housing Agency. Kalinga Ora estimated that targeted households will save up to NZD 1,000 annually on power bills.
