Mahinerangi Wind Farm is located west of Dunedin near Lake Mahinerangi in Otago. Stage 1 was commissioned in 2011.
Construction is now underway on Stage 2, Puke Kapo Hau, which will increase the combined wind farm’s installed capacity to 228MW across 52 turbines.

The Tararua Wind Farm stands on 700 hectares of private farmland in the Tararua Ranges, in the lower North Island of New Zealand.

New Zealand’s largest wind farm is in the Tararua Ranges near Palmerston North. The site extends southwards from the Pahiatua-Aokautere Road, on both sides of the Turitea Reserve.

The Waipipi Wind Farm is located approximately 6km south-east of Patea and 8km south-west of Waverley, in South Taranaki.

The Kaiwera Downs Wind Farm is the largest wind farm in the South Island, located 15km southeast of Gore.
Stage 1 was commissioned November 2023.
Stage 2 was commissioned in September 2026.

The Kaiwaikawe Wind Farm is 12km north-west of Dargaville in Northland and 3km inland from the Tasman Sea. Construction is on track to be completed in 2027.

Construction is underway on Puke Kapo Hau, the $506 million second stage of Mahinerangi Wind Farm west of Dunedin. The project will add 40 turbines and 192MW of capacity, with construction expected to take about two years. Once complete, the combined wind farm will be New Zealand’s largest, generating enough renewable electricity each year to power the equivalent of 92,000 homes.

The Puketoi Wind Farm development is on the Puketoi Range, 40km south of Dannevirke and 39km east of the Turitea Wind Farm.

We’re proposing to build a wind farm in North Waikato, located on farmland west of Huntly.  The proposed project area being considered is broad, and is bordered by Highway 22, Rotowaro Road and Hetherington Road.
