We are super excited to announce that New Zealand Green Investment Finance (NZGIF) is investing $10M in Solagri Energy This means that we will be able to finance around 120 solar arrays over the next three years, helping avoid 36,100 tonnes of CO2-emissions over the life of the assets.
NZGIF Chief Investment Officer Jason Patrick says the investment is an exciting step towards decarbonising New Zealand’s agricultural sector.
"Dairy farms require large amounts of energy to operate pumps, store and cool milk, and clean equipment, so energy costs make up a significant part of their overall budget. Solagri has a great solution to that challenge, offering farmers affordable renewable energy - capital free.
One of the exciting things about Solagri’s product is they install, own and maintain the solar arrays including insurance, cleaning and monitoring of the equipment, so there’s no upfront costs to the farmer."
Please share this post with any dairy farmers you know who might be interested in having Capital Free Solar on their farm.👍
