  1. Waitati Energy Project a subjective analysis

  2. First sparks…

  3. Early Aims • Examine 'Demand Side' energy (consumption) in Waitati • Explore 'Supply Side' energy (production) in Waitati • Document the process

  4. 2007 Goals • Reduction of energy use • Increasing energy efficiency • Making our homes healthy places • Reduction of community carbon footprint • Appraisal of local energy reticulation • Assessment of production potential • Developing new renewable distributed energy production • Building a more resilient community • Establishing relationships with the Energy Industry and OU researchers • Providing a model for change, providing a model for policy in action

  5. Partnerships!

  6. Action in the Community

  7. Building energy literacy

  8. A year on… Oct ‘08 • Culmination of HERS • Town in Transition Energy Forum • Charitable Trust • SNOWBALLING!

  9. What is the WEP? And the OERC…

  10. Objectives ‘08 -’09 • To develop and administer projects that provide education, support and resources to maximise locally based sustainable provision of energy, food, and water. • To develop and administer projects that provide education, support and resources to minimise energy use, encourage healthy homes and encourage sustainable households. • To secure and manage funding to achieve the stated goals of the WEP, and to stimulate local sustainable economic activity. • To develop and maintain relationships to achieve the stated goals of the WEP. • To ensure community partnership in any enterprises initiated by the WEP and to aim for the most equitable use of resources. • To foster linkages between organisations with objectives similar to, or complementary to, the WEP’s own Vision and Objectives. • The WEP’s goals and activity will always remain charitable. http://www.transitiontowns.org.nz/waitati

  11. The next stage

  12. 2009 • WEP: looking at demand, pushing generation (sliding scale) • What would motivate people to make changes? • How feasible is local energy generation? • What would we need to make it happen? (external expertise and resources)
