Funding Opportunity: Meridian Energy Power Up Community Fund

If you live in a community near one of Meridian’s generation assets (White Hill – Mossburn, Dipton, Lumsden or Manapouri – Te Anau, Manapōuri, Clifden and Tuatapere) then you can apply to their Power Up Community Fund. Your application must meet the Power Up Community Fund objectives and selection criteria, with one of the fund’s key objectives being to promote environmental awareness and programmes that sustain and improve the quality of the environment in the community.

The next funding round for Power Up White Hill and the Manapōuri Community Fund is open now, and applications need to be submitted by 19 October. Click here for more details.

Looking for funding but don’t live near their generation assets? Meridian’s Decarbonisation Fund is available nationwide for projects that reduce carbon emissions. Click here for more details.
