Peaks in electricity demand cause substantial issues for electricity systems’ infrastructure requirements. Demand-side management provides opportunities to reduce these peaks and create a more sustainable and affordable electricity supply. Dairy farming, being the third largest electricity use sector in Aotearoa has a role to play in enabling this transition, but is so far not meaningfully represented in the efforts of electricity sector organisations to alter electricity demand.
By working with highly industrialised dairy farms owned and operated by iwi organisations I aim to demonstrate not only the technical potential that these (and other) farms have to reduce electricity demand peaks, but also overcome barriers to change that the farmers face in adopting new technology and practices.

Challenges have been made to businesses to reimagine a different way of doing things. This requires a shift in paradigm, one that includes decolonial conversations that challenge assumptions of the dominant paradigm.
One way of shifting paradigms, involves pushing and pulling organisations to use indigenous metaphors (Dell et al., 2020). An example of this is the granting of legal personhood to the Whanganui River which seeks to take a holistic approach to ensure the Whanganui River catchment is viewed and managed, not in isolation, but as an interconnected ecosystem.

Kapua O’Connor (Ngāti Kurī), The University of Auckland
Ahikā was a well-established tikanga that described the occupation of lands by hapū, conveyed through them being present on their land to stoke their fires. In conjunction with whakapapa connection to the land, the tikanga of ahikā conferred mana on hapū, as the following whakataukī demonstrates:
Ka wera hoki i te ahi, e mana ana anō
While the fire burns, the mana is effective
Ahikā provided the principle that in order to maintain mana, hapū needed to continuously occupy their lands. Ahiteretere described the flickering fires of hapū who had been away for any time longer than normal seasonal absence. Ahimātaotao described the rapidly cooling, or extinguished fires of hapū who had been way for a long time, measured in generations.
