Resource consent applied for by Transpower to build wind far at Lake Mahinerangi, near Dunedin


(IRN News Via Thomson Dialog NewsEdge)Trustpower wants to build a big wind farm near Dunedin.

It has unveiled plans for the project at Lake Mahinerangi, south of the city.

The company says the half billion dollar scheme would be on a similar scale to its wind farm at Tararua and would produce up to 300 megawatts.

The deal is subject to engineering and environmental reports. Trustpower plans to apply for resource consent later this year.
