We can produce our own power: Community Energy Projects in Aotearoa” is a short film documentary that features Community Energy Projects in Aotearoa and their benefits for people and the planet.
The documentary comes at a time when Aotearoa New Zealand and the world are looking for innovative solutions to power down the fossil fuel industry and power up renewable energy for all. Despite the challenges that come with navigating an electricity market that favours large-scale utility providers, a number of communities in Aotearoa have been leading the way in creating a just transition.
350 Aotearoa visited community energy projects in Te Ika-a-Māui (North Island) to talk to the unsung heroes who have been quietly redesigning their communities to improve energy access and resiliency, address energy poverty, create jobs, support the community, and tackle climate change.
This documentary will leave you feeling hopeful and excited to be part of the movement fighting for a just, prosperous, and equitable world built with the power of engaged citizens. You can watch the trailer here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N70leFAiUfk
