This solar farm and battery storage facility will be only a few minutes drive from our new house. That pleases me. 😁 Ruakākā Solar Farm gains planning consent | Meridian Energy:
With up to 250,000 solar panels, the Ruakākā Solar Farm, south of Whangārei, will be capable of producing up to 200GWh of electricity per year – enough to power around half the homes in Northland.
The solar farm is Stage 2 of Meridian’s Ruakākā Energy Park, which also includes a 100MW battery energy storage system
