## Resource

The Green Party’s bold new energy plan introduces Kiwipower — a public company designed to slash power bills, boost renewables, and tackle energy shortages during dry years. With zero-interest solar loans, renter-friendly solar rights, and $200 million for community projects, they’re aiming to solarize half of all public homes in four years. Targeting energy inequality — especially for Māori communities — the plan costs $3.1 billion over a decade and funds itself via taxes on the wealthy and corporate windfalls. As Labour and National roll out their own energy visions, this is shaping up to be a major election battleground.
