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.
