Speakers

Mike Casey, CEO, Rewiring Aotearoa

Mike is a former tech founder who entered into the primary industry in NZ only a few years ago, to try and bring better technology to the New Zealand farming community. He believes that his cherry orchard, Forest Lodge, is the world's first 100% electric farm, a cherry orchard in Central Otago that he has shown 1000s of farmers in the last 12 months. The savings on energy when you electrify all the machines on farm and generate your own power from your shed roof is actually quite staggering, this has lead Mike to become the CEO of Rewiring Aotearoa, a charity organisation which is all about electrifying New Zealand as fast as possible so that we can drive economic productivity and growth as well as lowering emissions.
