Explore IEA wind cost data In 2022, the Government announced the development of regulatory settings to enable investment in offshore renewable energy (including offshore wind farms) in New Zealand.
Turbines range in size from around 1 kW domestic units up to 15 MW which can be seen in prototype offshore wind farms. The largest capacity of a single wind turbine in New Zealand is 4.3 MW, situated at the Waipipi wind farm, which has a collective capacity across the farm of 133 MW.
High average wind speeds make wind a useful generation resource in New Zealand. Currently, just over 6% of New Zealand’s electricity is generated from wind turbines. This is projected to significantly increase in coming years with several wind farms under construction, planned or under investigation.
Improving technology and noise standards for turbines have also made wind generation quieter. EECA is a member of the New Zealand Wind Energy Association, and the New Zealand Offshore Wind interest group, set up to explore potential benefits, options and barriers relating to offshore wind Energy in New Zealand.
