The Kaihiku Wind Farm is a proposed wind farm near Gore, New Zealand. The project is 50-50 owned by Manawa Energy and Pioneer Energy.

Energy production

Kaihiku is proposed to be 300MW across 73 turbines. The site is considered to be a "top tier" resource with average wind speeds between 9.0 and 9.5 m/s. The developer predicts that the farm would generate at maximum capacity 44% of the time, [1] and that the project would cost $750 million to $1 billion NZD to develop.[1]
