The Waitati Energy Project visits Pioneer Generation's three 750Kw NEG Micon wind turbines near Roxburgh on Saturday the 13th of March.

This is an opportunity to look at community scale turbines up close and meet Pioneer Generation.

The Weather is looking good, but in event of last minute cancellation then the Fieldtrip will be rescheduled for May. We're not anticipating having to reschedule having checked the latest Meteo and checked on the
conditions expected in Central Otago.

WANTED: Your stories

Submitted by James Samuel on 10 March 2010 - 4:43pm

Hi everyone,

I'm on a mission, and I know it's late, so I apologise in advance for being so audacious as to ask for something on 5 days notice, but here goes... What I am looking for....

Your stories

Between 200 and 600 words, with the basic framework being that it tells the story of the project and the people behind it.

A focus on vision, targets and past milestones would be great. The human side of the story helps other people identify with it, so dont be afraid of describing some of the stickiness of it, and any struggles.

Of course the positives are what will inspire others, so tell it like it is from your perspective, and why you believe in it, and speak to the possibilities that can come from it.
