Fraser Clark, newly appointed Chief Executive to the New Zealand Wind Energy Association, says the new wind farm is significant because it is operated by a small local company and was built using locally designed and built technology. He said the industry had a stream of projects coming online over the next few years, including Te Rere Hau (52 MW), (Meridian Energy’s White Hill in Southland (70 MW) and Stage 3 of TrustPower’s Tararua Windfarm (93 MW).
