A Maori community innovative partnership and the start of a journey of both local and national significance that brings together some of the best knowledge in New Zealand the world to design and build a new community owned renewable energy enterprise. The Hikurangi Foundation and the Kaitiakitanga Project Team have sought to partner with you for the very real purpose of designing a pilot community-owned energy project that can be made a reality within an immediate timeframe. Community energy is a catchall phrase given to renewable energy generation projects where the means of generation are owned and managed locally. Community energy delivers multiple benefits including: energy literacy, active local governance, household-linked activities leading to efficiency and health improvements, new jobs, and long-term income streams that can drive local economic development. Community energy is moving to scale in many countries around the world, creating diverse organizational structures and using different technologies along the way. As an example, the German town of Wildpolsreid (with a population of 2,700) produces 321% of their own energy needs and sells the excess to yield an income of US$5.7 million a year. The village’s initiative first started in 1997 when the village council decided that it should build new industries, keep initiatives local, bring in new revenue, and not create debt. Over the past 14 years, the community has equipped nine new community buildings with solar panels, built five bio-gas digesters and installed seven windmills with two more on the way. In the village itself, 190 private households have solar panels while the district also benefits from three small hydro power plants, ecological flood control, and a natural waste water system. This project is a flagship project for not only Maori communities but indeed for New Zealand.

1. Our sustainable development journey
Mr. Karamea Insley and Project Team
Friday 17th May, 2013
Omaio marae (Te Whanau a Nuku)
He whakatauki
[ A Maori proverb)
Te manu e kai ana i te miro, mona te ngahere
[The bird that eats the miro berry, his is the forest]
Te manu e kai ana i te matauranga, mona te ao
[The bird that eats the knowledge, his is the world]
Part 1: Recapping our marae-led journey to date
Part 2: Our Renewable energy kaupapa

2. “…., thank you for sharing with me the Engineering Design Challenge and your
Kaitiakitanga Energy Project. The intentions of that work to design a twenty year
sustainable development journey for Te Whanau a Apanui is impressive.
I really love these sorts of projects and I am grateful for your generosity in sharing”

5. Lessons fromTa Apirana Ngata
• Drove Maori economic
development in Te Whanau a
Apanui
• 18,000 Maori jobs
• Was highly INNOVATIVE
– Farming co-operatives
– Landowner purchasing co-operatives (a
form of community owned banking);

enabling role
– And more…

6. Maori lands – a
fundamental and key
point:
• Among the highest concentration
of Maori lands in the country here
on the coast;
• Our lands (that support our
farming, forestry et al) are owned
communally;
• It is almost impossible to sell our
Maori lands;
• We have lived here for generations
and will be here for generations to
come – an intergenerational
planning horizon.
“Ko te whenua te waiu mo nga uri i
whakatipuranga”
You will likely never work on a
project again with these kinds of
drivers.

7. • These are our Guiding Principles
• Balancing:
– Economic development +
– Social development +
– Environmental sustainability +
– Cultural sustainability
A holistic sustainable development
framework

8. • To raise awareness among our whanau, hapu and Iwi around
the risks and threats facing our taonga (treasures) and actively
and practically take steps to safeguard and protect our
treasures for our future generations.
• We will actively seek out, adopt and utilize the best practices,
technologies and innovations and, strategic partnerships and
alliances available anywhere in the world towards achieving
our objectives. And especially those lessons learned by other
indigenous people.

20. Community energy is moving to scale in many countries around the world, creating diverse
organizational structures and using different technologies along the way.

21. To service these developments, a variety of new jobs have been created and the education and
skills profile of the town has fundamentally shifted.
In New Zealand we have huge potential but are yet to realize any community energy projects of
note.
In order to build a community energy sector here in New Zealand we first need a cluster of
demonstration projects that prove concept and inspire others to experiment and replicate. This is
Hikurangi’s mission, and this is one of the demonstration projects that we believe can help
stimulate a sector.
You are not alone in helping to design and implement this first generation of projects –
communities in Wellington and Dunedin have been on a similar journey for the past four years
and are getting close to establishing their own wind clusters.
Message from Alex continued..,

22. We have also had significant support from the wider community – technology companies, banks,
research institutions, and politicians are increasingly interested and supportive. We are also
partnering with Embark in Australia – an incubator for community energy born out of Hepburn
wind, Australia’s first community owned wind farm.
While we are realistic in our expectations about what will be achieved within this Design
Challenge, we do anticipate that the best ideas will be refined and developed into live projects
that will provide real benefits to the community hosting you this weekend.
This is your first professional assignment and it focuses on a new area of opportunity and
innovation for the whole country. Enjoy it and be your best.
With huge appreciation and thanks,
Alex Hannant

What is Renewable Energy?
• Renewable energy is usually defined as energy that
comes from a resource that is naturally replenished
• Renewable energy sources generally emit no or very
little greenhouse gas emissions when you use them, so
they are better for the environment
– Non-renewable energy is sourced from fossil fuels like
coal, oil and gas
– Once they are used, they are gone, and they emit
greenhouse gases that contribute to climate change

24. Marine Solar Wind Wood-waste and crops
Examples of Renewable Energy
• Solar energy from the sun
• Wind energy which can be harnessed to drive wind turbines
• Bioenergy which can be used in a number of ways to generate
electricity, heat, or transport fuels from biological materials that
store energy, such as wood
• Marine energy such as wave, tidal, and ocean energy devices
• Hydro energy generated from water flowing through turbines
• Geothermal energy which can be harnessed to generate electricity
or provide direct heat

25. Marine Solar Wind Wood-waste and crops
Renewable energy in New Zealand?
• Renewable energy plays an important role in New Zealand's energy
supply system, with around 75% of electricity generated from
renewable sources.
• Historically, the main renewable sources have been hydro and
geothermal.
• Concern about climate change and limits on fossil fuel reserves is
driving the development and uptake of even more renewable
energy technologies to generate electricity, provide heating, and
power our vehicles.

Field trip objectives
• Expose you directly to our different energy platforms;
• Expose you directly to our landowners;
• Be sure to take lots of photos.

27. Solar energy map
Stop 1 – Field trip
Omaio cutting - Rareka
Landowner representatives: Marcia
Insley, Walter Fitzpatrick
Solar energy in New Zealand is
plentiful and can be harnessed in
many areas. On average, New Zealand
has about 2000 hours of bright
sunshine each year (e.g. 1615 hours in
Invercargill, 2450 hours in Blenheim).
In energy terms, New Zealand’s solar
energy resource is approximately 4
kWh/m2 per day. This map shows the
average annual bright sunshine hours
across New Zealand and as a result,
the potential resource in an area.

Omaio cutting - Rareka
Landowner representatives: Marcia
Insley, Walter Fitzpatrick
New Zealand is ideally situated to
generate significant amounts of
electricity from the wind. Our location
directly across the path of the
prevailing westerly winds provides an
excellent wind resource. There are
several regions with an average wind
speed above 10 m/s at wind turbine
hub height. This map shows wind
resources over the entire country –
mean annual wind speed is shown at a
height of 10m above ground level
(representing surface winds).

29. Wood energy
Stop 2 – Field trip
Omaio Forest
Landowner representatives: Erueti Koopu,
William Ngamoki, and Walter Fitzpatrick.
Wood, including wood residue and by-
products, and dedicated, fast growing trees,
bushes and shrubs, is being increasingly
recognised as a valuable source of energy for
larger-scale commercial and industrial
applications.
Wood energy can be used to generate heat
and electricity, and can also be converted
into liquid fuels similar to petrol and diesel.
When used as a substitute for fossil fuels
(coal, oil, and gas), wood reduces the amount
of greenhouse gas emissions produced by
New Zealand.
Burning wood has almost zero net
greenhouse effect as long as the carbon
dioxide given off during combustion is
absorbed by the growth of the next crop of
trees or shrubs.
Using wood energy can also be very cost
effective, particularly when the wood residue
being used is a by-product of an existing
process.

30. Biofuel energy
Stop 3 – Field trip
(Lunch) Otuwhare roadside
Biofuels are fuels that can be produced
from renewable materials, such as
plants. They are usually blended with
petrol and diesel to make biofuel
blends. The most common biofuels
are bioethanol, which is blended with
petrol; and biodiesel, which is blended
with diesel.
Sustainably-produced biofuels have
many benefits. By using a renewable
alternative to fossil fuels to run our
cars we can:
• Reduce greenhouse gas emissions
which contribute to climate
change
• Improve air quality by reducing air
pollution
• Lessen our dependence on
imported oil Source: Energy Efficiency and Conservation Authority – May 2013

The power contained in waves varies
greatly. The annual average wave
power around the New Zealand coast
varies from 8 kW/m (i.e. for length of
wave crest) at the East Cape to 99
kW/m near Stewart Island. A typical
value is probably around 30 kW/m,
which is a good quality resource
compared with many coastlines of the
world. This map shows average
significant wave height for coastal
areas of New Zealand for the period
1979-93. Significant wave height is the
average height of the highest one third
of the waves in a given sea state. The
areas with greatest significant wave
heights have the potential for wave
power electricity generation.

32. Hydro & micro-hydro
energy
Stop 4 – Field trip
Haparapara River bridge
Most new hydro developments being
proposed in New Zealand are relatively
small scale. In some cases the capacity
and efficiency of existing hydro
schemes can be enhanced to increase
generation output.
There is currently over 160MW
collectively of small hydro schemes (of
a size less than 20MW) already
installed in New Zealand (enough to
provide electricity for over 80,000
houses). The potential for additional
small hydro generation capacity is
substantial.
Small hydro schemes are a means of
providing electricity to remote farms,
homes and holiday retreats, or for
selling electricity to other users or into
the electricity market. Source: Energy Efficiency and Conservation Authority – May 2013

Distributed electricity generation?
• By generating and using electricity locally, we can reduce transmission costs and increase the
proportion of renewable energy we use with less impact on the environment
• Most of New Zealand's electricity is generated in large, centralized power stations which can be a
long way from where the electricity is used. The electricity is transported around the country
through transmission lines, and then carried through local distribution networks to where it is
needed
• Distributed generation is different - electricity is generated from small-scale systems and is used on-
site or nearby. It can be used to generate electricity for homes, farms, businesses and industries.
• Distributed generation projects are hooked up to the local distribution network. These local
networks are connected to the national grid. This means that when there is not enough electricity
being generated by the local project, users can still get electricity from the network. It also means if
excess electricity is being generated, the excess can be exported into the network
