Greenpeace concerned for govt finance of renewable energy

From Morning Report, 6:08 am on 9 August 2023

Greenpeace is nervous about the Government's partnership with investment company BlackRock to increase finance for renewable energy.

The deal will launch a $2 billion climate infrastructure fund - designed to help New Zealand reach its target of 100% renewable energy by 2030.

The fund will give money to businesses to develop more wind, solar, green hydrogen, and other renewable climate solutions.

Its head of campaigns, Amanda Larsson, spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.
