Ōtaki Energy Pulse
Te Manawataki o te Hiko o Ōtaki
Signalling the strength of our energy choices.
We're building a hub for sharing information and insights
on energy generation and conservation, our carbon footprints and more.

What's next for Ōtaki Energy Pulse? Stage One [current]: including all of Ōtaki College's solar power AND the power generated at our Rau Kūmara solar farm. Stage Two: including information from other other renewable energy sources in Ōtaki. Stage Three: adding in Ōtaki’s carbon emissions and energy use, and the positive impacts of actions we’re taking together.
Stage One: underway!
Want to check the weather without leaving the house? The Pulse donut is a clue for how sunny it is...and more.
In real time, we're looking at:
-
how much power (in kilowatts) is being generated from Energise Ōtaki's solar panels at Ōtaki College
-
what percentage of the panels' capacity is being used right now. The sunnier it is, the bigger the percentage shown.
These graphs show what's been generated over the last two days, and the last five months.
Using electricity so close to its source means less power is lost along the lines; it's clean power + energy efficiency for the win[d].
