Installation of wind meteorological mast and potential wind farm development near Pahiatua
Yinson Renewables is announcing the installation of a wind monitoring mast on private farmland near Pahiatua. Yinson Renewables has engaged Aurecon New Zealand, an engineering and infrastructure advisory company, to provide overall project management.
Wind generation offers a range of economic, employment, social and environmental benefits, both locally and nationally. It will bring jobs to the community and contribute to New Zealand’s efforts to mitigate climate change and transition to a low-emissions economy.
The mast will measure and analyse the wind speed and other wind effects to understand if this land has potential to build a small to medium-sized wind farm.
Yinson Renewables will be engaging with neighbours and the wider community at drop-ins to receive feedback on the proposal. The company is committed to being a good neighbour and will be closely monitoring the impact of the project on the environment and the local community.
