Welcome to Community Energy Network

We are a national network of community enterprises working together to create warm homes, strong communities and a healthy environment for the benefit of all New Zealanders.

Thanks to our supporters

We’re able to do our work with financial support from the following groups:

  • The Tindall Foundation
  • Think Tank Charitable Trust
  • New Zealand Lottery Grants Board, and
  • Our member organisations

Thank you. We really appreciate your commitment and support!

And thanks to the many groups and individuals who provide great support in many other ways.

Fuel Poverty Awareness Campaign

The Community Energy Network (CEN), in collaboration with ActionStation.org.nz has launched www.warmerwinters.org.nz – a website which prompts people living in cold homes to complete a survey about their winter experiences.  By collecting real-life feedback from everyday Kiwis about living in Fuel Poverty, a compelling case will be made for regulatory change in this space; minimum energy performance standards.

Help us by sharing the website and promoting the survey with your networks.

Click here to go to the latest media release or contact Jo Wills for more information about the campaign.
