Harnessing the power of the sun ☀️ ⚡ Lodestone Energy's Te Herenga o Te Rā solar farm became the first to connect directly to our national grid. This significant milestone is the culmination of a lot of work between Transpower and Lodestone, and is an exciting glimpse into the future for the country’s power system. With several more grid-connected solar farms in delivery, Transpower and the rest of the sector are making good progress towards an even more highly renewable power system.
Today we are celebrating reaching another significant milestone. Our third and largest solar farm to date, Te Herenga o Te Rā has started generating. Located in Waiotahe, Bay of Plenty, the farm will generate approximately 69 GWh of clean renewable electricity annually from over 71,600 high-efficiency bifacial solar panels – enough to power nearly 10,000 homes a year! Huge thanks to our customers, construction partners and local community who have all contributed to this success.
