Meridian Energy has received consent from the Environment Court for a 90MW Mt Munro Wind Farm, near Eketāhuna in northern Wairarapa.

Mt Munro will produce around 300GWh of renewable energy each year – enough to supply up to 42,000 average homes.

“New Zealand is heading towards another winter that’s set to highlight the challenges our electricity system can face when experiencing a shortage of fuel, whether that’s low lake levels or a shortage of gas,” says Meridian Chief Executive Neal Barclay.

“We need more generation capacity to boost security of supply and enable the further electrification of homes and businesses. Having Mt Munro consented means we can get on with building another important asset.”

Mt Munro is one of a number of projects Meridian Energy have underway to increase generation capacity and strengthen New Zealand’s electricity system.
