Waiterimu Solar Farm
The Waiterimu Solar Farm is a proposed photovoltaic power station in the Waiterimu Valley, near Ohinewai in the Waikato District of New Zealand. The farm will be owned by Island Green Power Ltd. When complete the farm will cover 380 hectares and generate 300 GWh/year of electricity. The project has been opposed by local residents. On 14 April 2023 the project was approved for the fast-track consent process under the Covid-19 Recovery (Fast-Track Consenting) Act 2020. On 20 April it announced a governance agreement with Te Riu o Waikato, and that it had moved the project from Waiterimu to two sites in the Rangiriri and Waerenga area. See also
