The upper North Island is served by only one operational wind farm. Most planned new generation is solar.
Wind generation profile better matches demand during daily and seasonal peaks, allowing wind farms to capture high pricing at times when solar generation is low.
Wind is the lowest cost form of generation and has the least embodied carbon.
Ventus owns New Zealand’s largest portfolio of wind farm development assets located in the most attractive region for new generation.
There are barriers to entry for new wind farms in New Zealand and few mature wind farm developments.
