This is a great thing to get behind

We’re proud to be partnering with the Otorohanga Kiwi House to install solar panels that will power their site for years to come.

By sponsoring a panel, you’re:
Supporting kiwi conservation
Helping reduce energy costs
Backing a kaupapa that supports whānau through energy wellbeing
Any excess energy generated that isn’t used by the Kiwi House will be passed on as energy credits to whanau who need a hand during winter, helping households stay warm and well.

Each panel costs $300, lasts 25+ years, and sponsor names will be recognised on-site.

Appreciation post… Like to thank the team today for coming into work to set up generators for the Ōtorohanga Kiwi House and Otorohanga and using the no power day to smash out some switch board upgrades and the power change over in the reception at the Kiwi House while it was closed good work team Kit BlackwoodJordan LeineweberYawden BradyJayden Scott

FYI for this Sunday’s shut down.

UPDATE: Ōtorohanga Planned Outage, Sunday 9 November

We have received several inquiries about the upcoming shutdown in the Ōtorohanga area. To clarify, not everyone in town will be without power, but a significant portion will be affected.

If you have not received a notification from your retailer about a power outage, it is likely that you will have power on Sunday.

Please see an updated map below that shows which areas of town will be without power and which will have power. It also lists several rural roads that are affected.

Reminder: the outage is from 9am to 4pm.

For interest:
• It’s a complex outage. This shut involves around 180 different switching sequences to isolate the site, while keeping as many people as possible connected.
• With a large shutdown area like this, the network is stretched, and users may notice voltage fluctuations throughout the day. This is normal and safe. Conserving power where/if you can would be a great help.
• If back feed supply is stretched, we may need to turn hot water off for a period.
