  • Thank you for helping us by taking this survey.

    Rewiring Aotearoa is an independent non-partisan non-profit representing everyday New Zealanders in the energy transition. We are working to build an electrified future where every New Zealander saves money on their energy bills and every community has the resilience to keep its lights on and homes warm.

    We are carrying out research into all the fossil fuel machines in New Zealand. By filling out this survey, you are helping us create a realistic pathway to decarbonising our economy, hitting our emissions targets, and saving households and the country significant money.
