Contact Energy’s Southland Wind Farm Proposal Rejected

The latest update is out from Contact Energy Limited ( (COENF) ).

Contact Energy’s proposal for the Southland Wind Farm has been declined by the Expert Consenting Panel, posing a significant challenge to New Zealand’s decarbonisation efforts and the company’s mission to enhance electricity supply security. Despite having the support of various local and national bodies, the decision represents a setback for renewable energy investment, which is crucial for reducing reliance on natural gas and providing clean, affordable electricity. The project, which promised economic benefits and job creation, can be appealed to the High Court on legal grounds.
