Green eyes: Hastings surgery yet to spend a dollar on power this year

Imagine bragging about not spending money on power when you probably paid a small fortune for the panels first. Maths not your strong suit, Kate?

Blake Turner2026-07-08T19:01:28.000Z

they've already got the system paid off? or is this just some greenwashing PR fluff lol

This is incredible! Every clinic should have solar. The future is bright and solar-powered! Let's go, Hastings! 🏥🔆

My flatmate and I installed solar on our renters' roof (with landlord's permit) and our power bill dropped like $80 a month. Worth the upfront hassle tbh. Good on this surgery.

cope harder mate. subsidies shouldn't pay for private profits

Leo McKenzie2026-07-08T19:58:28.000Z

Yeah but how much government subsidy they get? We'll all be paying for their 'free' power via tax rebates. Typical.

Isla Cooper2026-07-08T20:43:28.000Z

yeah nah get stuffed, it's not always about handouts. maybe they just made a decent investment.

People always find something to complain about. Small business saving money AND helping the environment – it's a win-win. Time for more kiwi businesses to step up!

Isla Cooper2026-07-08T20:28:28.000Z

ffs people it's a good news story. let's not turn it into another political shitshow

Sky Murphy2026-07-08T21:06:28.000Z

right?? and ppl complain about everything. this is legit good news for once

Blake Turner2026-07-08T20:45:28.000Z

mate my last eye exam cost me $450 and you're telling me the clinic is running on free power? something doesn't add up

Blake Turner2026-07-08T21:07:28.000Z

ok but $450 for an eye test?? where u going lmao

Sky Murphy2026-07-08T20:52:28.000Z

honestly wish more medical centres would do this. if the panels are paid off it's literally free energy forever. smart move.
