Only a small fraction of growers have applied for and are receiving free allocations

Only a small fraction of growers have applied for and are receiving free allocations
How do you apply for NZU’s & are you eligible?

 

I learnt last week that only a fraction of protected crop growers have applied for and are receiving NZU’s units. These are free allocations to help offset your ETS costs. I heard from one grower that they gave up trying as the application process was too difficult.

Below are links to sites I strongly recommend grower’s access. The first will take you to the EPA website and the second link will take you to the registration page. You are required to register as a new user. Once you have set up your own account you can add ‘authorised persons’ or other users to the account.

It is important for growers/businesses that are eligible to set up their own account.

Please contact me if you would like to discuss further.  e-mail stefan@grower2grower.co.nz

Heating Uncertainty Leaves Greenhouse Growers Searching for Answers
Waste oil supply changes force growers to reconsider long-term heating options ahead of winter. Two weeks ago I was alerted that one of the major recycled waste oil suppliers, based in the Auckland region, will soon stop supplying greenhouse growers. For one of my customers this came as a significant shock, particularly given that notice was given that deliveries will cease in the coming months –
