As power bills climb and fuel costs bite, many Coromandel households are feeling the pinch. But what if you could slash your energy bills, cut emissions, and future-proof your home — all at the same time?
That’s exactly what Electrify Coromandel is all about. Hosted by Rewiring Aotearoa, this free community event will show you how upgrading your gas and petrol-powered appliances, vehicles, and equipment to modern electric alternatives can save you thousands each year. Pair those upgrades with solar and battery storage, and you can boost your energy independence — even during power cuts or extreme weather.
The Coromandel has now reached the “electrification tipping point”, where going electric isn’t just better for the environment — it’s cheaper for homes, farms, and businesses. But many people aren’t aware of the savings hiding in their cupboards, kitchens, and driveways.
Guest speaker Mike Casey knows this first-hand. His all-electric, solar-powered cherry orchard is saving him tens of thousands of dollars annually. At Electrify Coromandel, Mike will share his journey, tips, and practical steps so you can start reaping the benefits too.
Community electrification groups are springing up across New Zealand, helping locals make the switch and enjoy cleaner, cheaper, healthier energy. Now, it’s the Coromandel’s turn.
