We’re proud to sponsor a range of local community projects, and to help support local engineering and science students. By sharing our time and resources with others, we’re helping to build a positive future for the communities we belong to.
Eastland Generation Community Fund
Our Community Fund distributes grants to individuals and groups who are making a real difference to their local environment or wider community.
Each year, we have a total fund of $10,000 available.
The fund is open to applicants from the Eastern Bay of Plenty, Tairāwhiti and Wairoa – all the places where we operate renewable energy plants.
Applications open soon – check back here for information.
Engineering and science scholarships
The renewable energy stars of tomorrow have the opportunity to gain invaluable financial support today, with our annual scholarships.
Every year, we offer a $5,000 scholarship to an engineering or science student from the Eastern Bay of Plenty, Tairāwhiti or Wairoa.
Applications open in late September.
Summer internships
As part of our scholarship programme, we may also offer a paid internship over summer, based at our geothermal power stations in Kawerau.
“It’s important for our staff to make meaningful contributions to the local communities where we live and work. We all benefit from this collaborative, supportive and genuinely engaged approach.”
Business and sector support
Eastland Generation is an active participant in promoting and supporting Aotearoa’s renewable energy industry. Our sponsorships include NZ Geothermal Week.
