New Zealand's largest solar farm, a $300mn project by Christchurch Airport, Contact Energy, and Lightsource bp, has begun construction. The 230-hectare Kowhai Park solar farm aims to generate enough renewable energy to power 36,000 homes and provide 162 MW of power, addressing the country's energy shortage. This is the first phase of the airport's renewable energy project, and the government aims to double New Zealand's renewable energy over the next 25 years.
