Transpower

Transpower’s draft approval clears the way for a stronger North–South inter-island power link—cutting bottlenecks, boosting resilience in dry years, and enabling more wind and solar.

National utility Transpower claimed that solar might take a 9.3% share of the nation's generation mix by the center of the century. Nevertheless, genuine development is just anticipated to take place from 2035, with dispersed generation anticipated to make up greater than 80% of overall mounted PV.
