What is RENZ?

Renewable Energy New Zealand Foundation (RENZ) is a charitable trust based in Queenstown, New Zealand.

The RENZ vision is for an energy independent New Zealand with economic and practical models to use energy harnessed from renewable sources.

The RENZ mission is to promote the widespread and sustainable use of renewable energy.

Whether you are an individual who shares our vision or a corporation with a commitment to New Zealand's future, we need your help, funding and support for our mission - please get involved.

RENZ is now seeking funding from public, corporate, private and community supporters.

How does RENZ work?

RENZ has a dual role.

• RENZ seeks contributions from corporate supporters, individual supporters, community trusts and Government funding organisations.
• RENZ then awards that money, in the form of grants, to projects that support the objectives of the foundation and meet the selection criteria.

The RENZ structure includes an advisory board that carefully evaluates each application on its merits and makes a subsequent funding recommendation to the Trustees.
