Net zero energy generation by 2035

Written By Kim Manunui

This home belongs to all of us, so let’s look after it.

Generating energy so you can turn the lights on or cook dinner has an impact on our shared home. We’re lucky that most of our electricity comes from renewable sources like hydro (water) and geothermal (steam). But during peak times when there’s high demand, like first thing in the morning or in the evening, New Zealand often relies on energy generated from fossil fuels.

So with some courage and clever thinking we’ve promised to have net zero energy generation by 2035.

We’re planning to achieve this by:

  • Continuing to invest in new renewable energy like our wind, steam and solar projects

  • Retiring fossil fuel power stations while increasing low carbon energy generation through Tauhara, our new geothermal power station near Taupō

  • Helping Aotearoa to reduce reliance on fossil fuels during peak times through our Good Plans

  • Finding innovative ways to manage emissions – like turning our carbon emissions into bubbles for everything from lager to lemonade. Cheers to that!

It’s exciting times. An ‘electrified’ Aotearoa where our country is powered by renewable energy not fossil fuels, is looking very promising for our collective future.

Hi, I’m Kim and I work with a great team to help individuals, as well as small and not so small businesses get their message, product and services to the world using digital media and creating wonderful websites that don’t cost the earth.

I was born in Canada, and grew up around Vancouver and the mountains of British Columbia. My love of pristine environments led me to New Zealand and eventually to the mountains, lakes and rivers of the central North Island which is home. My family’s heritage is here, and it’s from here that Korio traverses the planet.

The digital world is never static and neither are we.

And I say ‘we’ because I work with an awesome group of talented people who I gather together as required to complete a project.  Whatever your business, not-for-profit or individual needs are we gather the best team to get the job done.

Collaboratively we are creative, share sustainable values and work hard for great outcomes because that’s the buzz of satisfaction that drives us.

If you have an audience and market to reach, we can make that happen. Creative design, words that work and smart behind the scenes stuff that cuts through the online noise. We’ll design your website and then build it. We’ll manage the content as well as all your hosting needs. We can handle your online advertising so you get noticed,
and we’ll manage your social media presence so you get the clicks, likes and engagement to grow your business. All within the budget you set, because none of this needs to cost the earth.  And the job doesn’t stop when your website goes live. We are your virtual business partner.
