RIF grant to support energy resilience in Far North
A grant of $1. 11 million from the Regional Infrastructure Fund will support a Māori-led initiative to install solar power, battery storage and back-up generators in community facilities in the Far North, Regional Development Minister Shane Jones and Māori Development Minister Tama Potaka say. Mr Jones says the investment will strengthen local energy resilience and help maintain essential services in some of Northland’s remote communities when power is disrupted.
