THE OPPORTUNITY

Local Energy partners with people and companies that have space – on the ground or on the roof – to make cheaper, greener power while giving benefit back to your community.


Our common partners are homes, schools, businesses, clubs and farms.

We install solar panels and batteries (or use ones they already have) and then use our clever LocalSmart AI software to turn them into mini power plants.

We share that energy back to nearby homes at great prices, while rewarding them for their part.

It's community power, made simple – more money in your pocket and for your local community, and less going to the profits of the big power companies.

Lower power bills

Most households save 5% or more off their current bill – compare exactly at billy.govt.nz

Foundation Package

Easy to switch


Greener electricity

It works just like switching to any other power company. No installation at your home, no disruption to supply, and it takes just a few minutes.

Good for your community

You stay connected to the national grid at all times, so your power is on 24/7 regardless of weather, time of day, or how much the local system is generating.

Reliable, always
