WHAT ARE SUPA HUBS?

Turn your building into an energy hub and keep the returns

A SUPA Hub is a building or site that becomes part of New Zealand’s next layer of energy infrastructure. Schools, businesses, farms, clubs or land – if it has space, it can generate, store and supply power into a coordinated local network.

The grid wasn’t built for what’s coming

Most of New Zealand’s energy system was built around large, centralised generation that fed power over long distances. It worked when demand was predictable and growth was steady.

That’s no longer the case. Demand is rising, pressure on the grid is increasing, and expanding infrastructure is slow, expensive and often reactive. We’re trying to solve a modern problem with an old model.A more effective approach is to build capacity where energy is actually used. Generate it locally. Store it when it’s abundant. Use it when it’s needed.That’s what a SUPA Hub does. It turns existing buildings into part of the solution.

WHAT'S UNDER THE HOOD

How it works

Solar generates electricity during the day. Batteries store energy when supply is high – including charging overnight when demand and prices are low.

SUPA Tech manages when that energy is used, stored, or supplied to the local community. The financial returns are shared across the network.Your site becomes part of something larger, a growing portfolio of distributed energy infrastructure across New Zealand, managed by software that optimises every watt.

How the money works

Your infrastructure should be an investment, not just an expense.

We structure the project with you so that the solar and battery system is funded through a loan, and you own the asset from day one.The key difference lies in how the loan is serviced.

Guaranteed Revenue

SUPA guarantees the revenue generated by your hub will cover the repayments. The system is designed to pay for itself, without requiring upfront capital or exposing you to market volatility.

Full ownership

You have full ownership from day one and over time, the loan is cleared, and the asset remains. At that point, the revenue it generates becomes ongoing income tied to the infrastructure you own on your site.

PREDICTABLE RETURNS

This isn’t a cost-saving exercise dressed up as a project. It’s the creation of a long-term asset with predictable returns.

What it means for you

Your site produces and uses its own energy, reducing reliance on an increasingly volatile grid.
