This facility stands as one of the biggest operational solar farms in New Zealand.
Fotowatio Renewable Ventures (FRV) Australia has commenced operations at its 63-megawatt peak Lauriston Solar Farm in New Zealand.
The solar facility, working alongside Genesis Energy, ranks among the biggest currently operational within the nation.
Situated in Canterbury on a 93-hectare plot close to Christchurch, this facility boasts approximately 90,000 solar panels. Its capacity allows for an annual production of up to 100 gigawatt-hours, enough to power more than 13,000 homes.
The construction of the project was carried out by Beon Energy Solutions and has resulted in roughly 100 job opportunities.
“Lauriston Solar Farm embodies our commitment to constructing a sustainable future via cutting-edge renewable technologies, which will provide substantial social and environmental advantages to both nearby communities and the nation,” stated Carlo Frigerio, CEO of FRV Australia.
