Want to learn more about electrifying you home?
Come to the first of the new 2026 Power Up The Hutt information sessions in the Petone Community House on the evening of Wednesday 29th April at 7:30pm.
Power Up the Hutt is a free five-part community event series bringing together Hutt Valley residents who want to cut their power bills, reduce their carbon footprint, and future-proof their homes.
New Zealand has reached an electrification tipping point — households can now save money and significantly reduce their emissions by switching their appliances and vehicles to electric. But knowing where to start can feel overwhelming.
These friendly, practical evenings — hosted by local volunteers and drawing on the research of Rewiring Aotearoa — will walk you through the real options available right now: solar panels and home batteries, electric vehicles, heat pump hot water systems, induction cooking, and making the switch from gas to electricity.
No jargon. No sales pitch. Just straight talk from your neighbours about what works, what it costs, and how to get started.
Join us. Get informed. Power up.
