Just before we broke for Christmas, Awarua Synergy Ltd had some of their workers down installing solar panels on the roof of Te Rourou Whakatipuranga Early Childhood Centre and early January the digger was out the back of the marae working on the area for the wind turbines base to be concreted.
Both these energy sources, funded by Awarua Rūnanga, will help to reduce the energy bills for the centre and marae. Photos of the soon to be installed wind turbine will be published in a future issue.
