Te Uku Wind Farm Substation - Meridian Energy

Te Uku Wind Farm, situated near Raglan, is jointly owned by WEL Networks and Meridian Energy. It consists of twenty-eight Siemens turbines, each with a capacity of 2.3MW. At full capacity they generate 64.4MW of electricity - enough to power 30,000 average-sized New Zealand homes. 

A new substation was required for the turbines and for two 33kV circuits - One circuit supplying the WEL Network, the other Transpower’s Te Kowhai substation.
