DESCRIPTION

An update briefing meeting to the whanau at Omaio marae where the winning three student engineering design teams presented their ideas and plans to create a flagship maori community owned renewable energy enterprise. Stunning ideas from the students with lots of questions and feedback from the whanau. The next steps are now to assemble an expert engineering review panel to consolidate all the best ideas and develop a final business case with detailed cost/benefit analysis that will be socialised with the investment community towards making the project real by the end of 2014.

FLAGSHIP RENEWABLE ENERGY

Guiding principles:- Marae-owned- Nuku, Rutaia, and Toihau- Project leadership stays with the marae- Never put our land at risk

Sponsor – Mangaroa Ohotu & Te Karaka Land-blocks

• Hapu hui towards the end of 2012 to discuss our:• Issues• Challenges• Goals and • Strategies (DRAFT)

• $10 million application to EBOP $40 million new infrastructure fund• Was DECLINED

• We carried on ….• The Hikurangi Foundation• Engineers Without Borders (2013 Odyssey Design Challenge)

How did we get here?

Private & Confidential

• Cheap power for the whanau through an energy company

owned by the hapu +

• Energy security and a new revenue stream for the hapu +

• New and real jobs +

• Model project management approaches + and

• Share knowledge and outcomes with other TWAA marae

(and nationally an estimated 1,300 marae) and Iwi

Land-based Aquaculture ProjectNew Zealand’s fastest growing seafood sector• Alignment with Ngati Porou Seafoods

Group project

• Aquaculture makes up approximately 20% of NZ’s total fisheries production (by value) and 15% of NZ’s total seafood exports (by value)

• About 66% of New Zealand’s aquaculture production is exported

• Land based Finfish aquaculture is our preference as a means of Supply for fresh fish exports and value added products which includes by-products

• Head of NPSG (Mark Ngata) will come and meet with us in early 2014 to update on status of project

• We are hosting the leading European Food Innovation experts in Gisborne in November this year

• Also leading large scale Iwi-owned Geothermal Greenhouse development project in Kawerau

Short and medium term next steps

Immediate next steps Project plan to 2014• Peer-Review of Odyssey

projects• Complete business-case

– Late October/early November 2013

– Kill/go decision

• Finalize legal structures• Investor search and

commitment• Landowner hui• Implementation in early 2014

1. A key challenge will be:– Effective contracting project into the NZ energy market

(generators, wholesalers, retailers, and lines companies)– Getting certainty around future wholesale energy prices.

2. Capital investment (linkage to Whanau Ora) – Estimate from preliminary Engineer analysis of between

$3.0 to $5.0 million over 1 to 3 years– Final detailed business-case will be available late October-

early November 2013 confirming final numbers

3. Access to Government home insulation program

How can Government help?

Private & Confidential

• While we have had setbacks, our project is on-track with our project plan; and

• We have the best technical (science, engineer, legal and commercial) experts in New Zealand and the world helping us; and

• It is our whanau and hapu who own and lead the kaupapa (no-one else); and

• There has been no cost to the marae; and

• We have not (and will not) put our lands at risk.
