New Zealand’s push towards a more electric future has been given a welcome boost, with 24 local projects being awarded a share of almost $1.6m in funding from Meridian’s annual Community Decarbonisation Fund.
With projects ranging in cost from $19,000 to $179,000, the funding will help these community groups achieve their electrification plans, reduce emissions and operating costs, and ensure more money is available for their work and reaching those in their community.
Meridian’s Community Decarbonisation Fund uses the net proceeds from its Certified Renewable Energy product, which enables businesses to match their electricity use with an equivalent amount of renewable electricity from one of Meridian’s hydro stations or wind farms. This means they can report their Scope 2 emissions – those linked to energy use – as zero.
