Electrifying farms - the way of the future

From Afternoons, 1:15 pm on 12 June 2024

Fieldays, the largest agri-tech showcase in the Southern Hemisphere, kicks off today and of course many of the major innovations will centre on electrification.

It's timely then that a new report from Rewiring Aotearoa explores the benefits of electrifying our farms.

They say it's an exciting time for farms and rural communities to reduce their costs, diversify their income, and greatly contribute to New Zealand's renewable energy system.

Rewiring Aotearoa CEO Mike Casey speaks to Charlotte.
