About EECA
Clean and clever energy use is about living differently, in a way that gives us more.
Andrew Caseley, Chief Executive
The Power of No
In our latest Gen Less campaign, we’re empowering Kiwis to get rid of the stuff on the bottom of their to-do lists. Instead of wasting energy on things and stuff we don’t really want or need, we can give ourselves, and the planet, a breather.

From July 1, car buyers will have a new incentive to buy a cleaner, safer car. Anyone purchasing an EV or plug-in hybrid EV will be able to claim rebates of up to $8,625 for new vehicles and $3,450 for used. The discount applies to cars with a star safety rating of at least three, and under $80,000.
It was announced by Minister of Transport Michael Wood, who said, “The Climate Change Commission’s final advice has shown how important it is we decarbonise transport given it’s currently the fastest growing source of greenhouse gas emissions in New Zealand.”
