Here's some tips on how you can reduce your carbon emissions.

If you’d like to learn more about how to live a lower carbon lifestyle, head to the Gen Less website: Live more with less energy | Gen Less.

You can find out about EVs, solar energy and smart homes. It’s a government website with great advice for both homes and businesses.

The Electricity Authority website also has helpful information to get you started. They have a lot of general information for consumers here: Your power | Electricity Authority (ea.govt.nz)

They also have some helpful guidance about solar panels here: What do I need to know about solar panels? — Electricity Authority (ea.govt.nz)
