The Puketoi Wind Farm is a proposed wind farm project in the Tararua District of New Zealand. The project is planned by Mercury Energy.
History
[edit | edit source]Mercury Energy (then known as Mighty River Power) applied for resource consent for the project in August 2011.[2] Consent for 53 turbines and a transmission line was granted in June 2012.[3] Three appeals against the project were withdrawn in June 2013.[1] Mighty River said they did not expect to begin construction for three to five years.[1] The consent lapses in 2023.[1]
In March 2019 Mercury announced that development of the nearby Turitea Wind Farm would support the future development of Puketoi.[4] In March 2021 Mercury had no estimated completion date for the project.[5] In March 2023 that the resource consent had been extended until 2031 and that the allowed turbine blade diameter had been increased.[6]
Location
[edit | edit source]The proposed site is in the Puketoi Ranges, approximately 40km south of Dannevirke.[1] The site will be connected to Mercury's existing Turitea Wind Farm with a 220 kV transmission line.[4]
