Wind energy

Hydro Tasmania Consulting, Climate Managers and Baker & McKenzie have been
engaged by EECA to develop a Business-As-Usual (BAU) case for the take-up rates of
domestic and small-scale grid-integrated renewable energy (electricity) systems in New
Zealand to the year 2030. This report outlines the assumptions and influences affecting
the take-up-rate projections, and includes BAU projections.

National Electric Vehicles Cost Benefit Assessment and 2009 pilot review

Energy3 Ltd and Duelling Banjos Ltd looked into the viability of installing a small-scale (2.4MW) distributed wind farm on a vineyard in the Marlborough region. The landowners will be the co-developers of the project, and power from the wind turbines would be used onsite and also for sale into 33kV Marlborough Lines distribution network.

This project, undertaken by the Balfour Partnership, investigated the practical and commercial feasibility of a small wind project in the Marlborough region. A partnership of landowners has been established to help develop the project that could have an output of up to 10MW.
