Meridian Energy and NZ Windfarms have struck a deal, aiming to further New Zealand’s venture towards net zero emissions. 

The joint-venture is to expand Te Rere Hau wind farm near Palmerston North, estimated costs sitting between $500 million and $600 million.

Meridian’s CEO, Mike Roan, told Mike Hosking that they plan to remove the existing wind farm and build new turbines at the site.

He said that it’s a big challenge to decarbonize the economy, and partnerships between local wind farms and major corporations will allow the projects to get off of the ground.
