We are promoting expansion of the Co-operative model for direct benefit for members, including direct participation in the Electricity market This will enhance the opportunity for sharing PV generation for small and large groups.
Doing so amplifies the financial advantages for our members and contributes to the growth of the co-operative, with benefit for all shareholders.
Transacting Shares (T-Shares) and Supporting Shares (S-Shares) are available. Click the join button to find out more and apply to become a member.
While we are fully owned by all our shareholders, we are completely dependant on input and guidance. Trading continues as it has over past years and is self funding and supports our administrative costs, we consider, however, any strategic initiatives must have shareholder input. There are considerable opportunities
available for development of a cooperative in the energy market which would directly benefit all consumers.
As a Director or Officer there are no risks and no shareholding is required. Like more details, please contact [email protected]
Why Solar?
Together we can reduce the use of Coal and Gas for KWS generation. New Zealand has a unique opportunity being already about 60% from renewable sources.
Of all the energy sources presently used Solar energy is the only constant and consistent resource, as it has been over millions of years. The use of Solar Energy does not deplete that resource.
Photo Voltaic (PV) technology continues to evolve with increasing efficiency, lower costs, and a positive return on investment. Solar is now the cheapest form of electric power generation.
In simple terms, any solar generation, on any site, will reduce the use of grid supplied power and a typical power account invoice. Solar energy generation can also be scaled easily from small to large, without the need for large infrastructure. Solar energy utilises an infinite resource, with no moving parts, no noise, no environmental damage, and no pollution.
