New Zealand's 'New Era' of Power: Lodestone's Kaitāia Solar Farm

• Welcome to a new era of energy in New Zealand with Lodestone Energy's Kaitāia farm, the country's largest solar farm, generating 55 GWh of power annually. See how this agri-voltaic design benefits residential and commercial energy consumers, such as The Warehouse Group.

New Zealand's largest solar farm has begun generating power, opening up a new era for energy in the country. The Lodestone Energy's Kaitāia farm is the first solar farm in NZ to bid into the electricity market, and has employed more than 125 installers and technicians, involved more that 22 equipment suppliers and service providers. The farm has over 61,000 solar panels generating 55 GWh of power annually, which is earmarked for residential and commercial energy consumers, most notably the Warehouse Group. This agri-voltaic design maximises the production of electricity while maintaining productive farming activity. Lodestone Energy's Phase 1 capital programme includes more solar farms, and this project ushers in a new era for New Zealand to help meet its climate goals.
