Mike Casey: Rewiring Aotearoa CEO on the Queenstown Electrification Accelerator project - Early Edition with Ryan Bridge

Queenstown could soon be leading the world’s renewable energy future. 

Rewiring Aotearoa is launching the Queenstown Electrification Accelerator project to speed up the transition to electric machines that run on renewable electricity. 

It wants to make it easier for homes and businesses to go electric. 

Chief Executive Mike Casey told Ryan Bridge one of the biggest barriers to going solar is the up-front cost. 

But he says with some of New Zealand's highest energy prices, Queenstown is the best place to turn renewable.
