They also have an Energy Policy aimed at making sure everyone can access reliable, affordable, and renewable energy through a system that puts community wellbeing ahead of private profit. Their approach covers protecting nature and ecosystems alongside cutting emissions.
“We enjoy a liveable future in Aotearoa New Zealand, stemming from our urgent actions to negate the global climate crisis through an equitable and robust evidence-based process that prioritises mātauranga Māori.”

The Green Party proposes cutting power bills through household and community ownership of renewable generation, and creating Kiwipower — a publicly owned Crown entity to build and contract the backup “firming” capacity the system needs when hydro lakes are low or wind drops. It includes zero-interest loans for solar and batteries, a renters’ right to solar, expanded home insulation, and funds for community, public-housing and Māori-housing renewable projects.
