Energise Ōtaki Charitable Trust

- All Ōtaki households, organisations and businesses take action in some way to conserve and produce energy - Average residential energy use per capita declines year on year. - Local clean energy production increases year on year. - Emissions of greenhouse gas emissions from energy use in Ōtaki declines year on year - No-one is living in energy poverty in Ōtaki. - Jobs in energy conservation and clean energy generation are created in Otaki. - Otaki is internationally recognised as a town where research on energy conservation action and local scale clean energy production can be advanced in partnership with the community. - People have fun on the way to achieving the vision. The Energise Otaki vision is huge, involving action across many areas.   It is about reducing electricity consumption, reducing reliance on fossil fuels, giving people choices about what energy they consume and how they purchase it, how it is generated and how they can reduce their overall energy use. It involves local clean energy generation.  On the way, the town will reduce its contribution to long-term human-induced climate change. Energise Otaki is advanced through community involvement in projects, large and small.  The idea is not owned by any one group but relies on individuals, businesses and organisations becoming involved.
