The Lauriston solar farm in New Zealand will be the largest, powering 13,000 homes, amid waste concerns.

The Lauriston solar farm in Canterbury, New Zealand, a $104 million joint venture between Genesis Energy and Future Renewable Vision Australia, is set to become the country's largest, capable of powering over 13,000 homes. However, its construction has generated about 200 tonnes of green waste, contributing to a 43% increase in waste at the Ashburton Resource Recovery Park. This title will be temporary, as a larger solar farm near Taupō is under development.
