Hauauru ma raki

New Zealand

Hauāuru mā raki was a proposed wind farm development on the Waikato coast of New Zealand. The project would have extended 34 km along the coast between Port Waikato and Raglan. The project would have covered an area of 168 square kilometres (65 sq mi) and had a capacity of up to 504 MW. The wind farm would have been owned and operated by Contact Wind Ltd, a joint venture between national electricity generator Contact Energy and the local Wind Farm Group. The project would have provided around 1440 GWh of electricity per year, equivalent to 180,000 homes. Contact Energy applied for resource consents in June 2008. At that time, the first electricity from the wind farm was planned for 2013 with the project due for completion by 2016. In 2013, Contact announced that it planned to exit the project, due to, "the current supply and demand outlook and the competitiveness of the Tauhara geothermal development".
