This team’s delivering wonders! (and a transformer)
Meridian's West Wind Farm has been one transformer short since a fault last year – limiting its generation capacity. @TranspowerNZ has kindly loaned us this transformer until a permanent replacement arrives next year. Getting this massive unit to site meant some skillful driving up the narrow access road onto West Wind.
Once the replacement transformer is fully connected in the next few weeks, West Wind will be back to its full capacity – with an extra 44MW of generation available. We’re very grateful to Transpower for their flexibility, and to our contractors for stepping up at such short notice. It’s an outstanding example of collaboration and cooperation within the industry, and a great result for Aotearoa.
