The first stage of the Te Rere Hau wind farm consists of five 500 kW turbines. It is situated off North Range Road on the Tararua ranges approximately 11 km east of Palmerston North.[1]
When complete Te Rere Hau will have 97 wind turbines with a generating capacity of 48.5 MW, which is enough to power over 18,000 local households. By using New Zealand made Windflow 500 turbines, over 90% of the expected project cost will stay in the country.[2]
Te Rere Hau is owned and operated by NZ Windfarms Ltd.[3] As of 2007, installed capacity of wind turbines in New Zealand has reached 170 MW and a further 151 MW is under construction.[4]
