For its fourth annual event, NZ Geothermal Week returns with a bang, jam-packed with 18 events in and around the wider Taupō Volcanic Zone from July 1 to 6.
Co-hosted by Amplify and NZ Geothermal Association (NZGA), this year’s event has something for everyone from industry to the community and the education sector, aiming to boost geothermal awareness, highlight the Taupō volcanic zone as a centre of excellence, and showcase New Zealand’s geothermal industry.
This year’s event theme is “Geoheat: Everyday, Everyone, Everywhere - Direct and Cascade use of the Geothermal Resource”, and is also focused on other industries utilising renewable energy.
NZGA’s chief executive Kennie Tsui told Taupō and Tūrangi Herald the theme highlights the “Immense value of our taonga, our geothermal resources.”
“With both international and domestic attendees, we aim to celebrate the diverse applications of geothermal energy,” she said.
