Get ready, Hutt Valley – the future is electric!
The Electrify the Hutt Expo is charging into Lower Hutt with a mission to spark inspiration and supercharge your lifestyle with the power of clean electricity. As energy bills climb and climate concerns grow, this high-energy event will show you how to take control—cut costs, slash emissions, and embrace a smarter, more sustainable way of living.
Discover the incredible potential of generating your own local power through solar panels, micro wind turbines, and more. With dynamic demos, interactive exhibits, and expert talks, you'll learn how easy and empowering it is to electrify your home, reduce your reliance on fossil fuels, and enjoy the long-term benefits of clean energy.
But that’s just the beginning. The expo goes beyond saving money and helping the planet—it’s about building stronger, more resilient communities. By embracing local energy generation, we can protect ourselves from rising energy costs, power outages, and climate extremes. It’s about creating homes and neighbourhoods that are not just efficient, but future-proof.
So whether you're a curious homeowner, a savvy business owner, or just someone who wants to be part of something positive, Electrify the Hutt is your place to plug in. Come connect with experts, explore cutting-edge tech, and join a growing movement to electrify our lives and build a cleaner, brighter Hutt Valley for everyone.
