Today SEANZ has joined a long list of business leaders, iwi leaders, scientists, environmentalists, actors, musicians, health professionals and others in pledging our support for the New Zealand Government to end oil and gas exploration now, as a vital step in addressing climate change.
SEANZ has been at the front of the clean energy revolution by driving the uptake of solar PV and battery storage for Kiwi households and businesses. Today we are deepening our commitment to a clean energy future by signing this Open Letter to the Prime Minister calling for an end to fossil-fuel exploration and by committing to do all we can to transition of our country’s transportation fleet to clean energy electric vehicles.

Smart Energy technologies represent a massive opportunity for the country.

SEANZ is committed to backing clean energy technologies, ensuring energy democracy, and unlocking the economic benefits of energy independence for all New Zealanders.
