The Waverley Wind Farm is a wind powered electricity generation project in New Zealand planned by Tilt Renewables. This development is proposed for a site located between Patea and Waverley in South Taranaki. The development concept is for up to 48 wind turbines over 980 hectares, generating up to 130 MW at a cost of approximately $300 million.[1][2]

History

The project was initially proposed in 2007 by Allco Wind Energy but development ceased in 2009 when Allco was put into receivership.[3]

The project was acquired by Trustpower in 2010[2] and further developed in 2012.[4] The application for resource consents was lodged with South Taranaki District Council and the Taranaki Regional Council in 2016.[2] It was approved in July 2017.[5]
