Greens Unveil KiwiPower Energy Plan | Christchurch News
Description
The Greens unveil KiwiPower, a bold new publicly owned energy company funded by a $1 billion tax on the ultra-wealthy, designed to tackle New Zealand’s energy instability with renewable “firming capacity” — a direct counter to the government’s LNG plan. KiwiPower would offer stable, affordable power, access to backup capacity from big energy firms, zero-interest clean energy loans, solar rights for renters, and expanded insulation programs. Framed as a systemic shift toward economic and environmental resilience, the plan demands coalition partners prioritize it — and rejects fossil fuel bets as wasteful. Launched at the Dunedin Gasworks Museum, it’s a symbolic and strategic move to redefine New Zealand’s energy future.
