FAQs 6

What new projects are happening in New Zealand?

We currently have a number of new projects planned or underway, including wind farms in Wairarapa and Manawatū, an energy park (battery and solar) in Northland and a solar farm northwest of Christchurch.

What is New Zealand's First Wind Farm repowering project?

The Environment Court has granted consent for this project. Te Rere Hau wind farm, near Palmerston North, will be New Zealand’s first wind farm repowering project and involve up to 39 new turbines with a total generation capacity of up to 170 megawatts. We’re exploring the development of a solar farm at Swannanoa, northwest of Christchurch.

Will a 100-megawatt solar farm improve New Zealand's national grid?

Located at Ruakākā in the country’s North Island, the 100-megawatt (MW) BESS will improve the stability of the national grid, as intermittent renewable power generation increases in New Zealand. The BESS is the first stage of a project that will include the construction of a co-located 130 MW solar farm by Meridian Energy.

Which energy company is building New Zealand's first grid-connected battery energy storage system?

Meridian Energy is building New Zealand’s first large-scale grid-connected battery energy storage system (BESS) at Ruakākā on North Island Paris, January 10, 2023 – Saft, a subsidiary of TotalEnergies, has been awarded a major contract by Meridian Energy to construct New Zealand’s first large-scale grid-connected BESS.

How will Wairarapa's New solar power system work?

It will consist of a 100-megawatt battery energy storage system, which was completed in 2025, and a 130-megawatt solar farm, which is under construction. We’re proposing to build a wind farm at Mt Munro near Eketāhuna in northern Wairarapa. With up to 20 turbines, this could produce enough electricity to power around 42,000 average homes.

Will Infratec build a new energy storage system in New Zealand?

Infratec general manager Nick Bibby said that the storage system is “the first of its scale to be built in New Zealand”. As reported by Energy-Storage.news, the two companies completed their assessment of the project in late 2021, selecting a site in Huntly, a town in the Waikato District.
