Red Stag rewarded for its energy
INNOVATION, EFFICIENCY AND care for staff and customers were big themes among the winners of the Deloitte Energy Excellence Awards on 22 August.
Some 650 guests packed out Cordis Auckland to celebrate excellence in the sector as the industry’s showpiece event celebrated its 10th year.
Large Energy User Initiative of the Year went to Red Stag Timber after a $20 million mill transformation saw it increase total energy output while reducing consumption from the electricity grid, leading to a 25% increase in production.
The event was attended by energy sector luminaries past and present, joined by influential members of the political sphere including Minister of Energy & Resources Megan Woods, Minister for Regional Economic Development Shane Jones, National Party energy and resources spokesperson Jonathan Young, and New Plymouth District Mayor Neil Holdom.
