Welcome to our newsletter
We hope you're still buzzing from the energy of our inaugural event on Saturday, October 4th! What a fantastic day it was to gather and explore the future of sustainable living right here in the Hutt Valley. The atmosphere was truly electric, thanks to the hundreds of you who came along with your curiosity and enthusiasm. Check out the photos from the event on our website https://electrifythehutt.nz/expo2025/image-gallery
We saw packed houses for the insightful seminars on the costs and benefits of electrification including solar energy and home heating. The Town Hall was humming with people checking out the latest in electric appliances, e-bikes, and eco-friendly home solutions. We hope you had a chance to chat with the exhibitors and any of our experts at the "Ask me anything lounge", and that you walked away feeling motivated and equipped with practical steps to make your home and commute more sustainable.
