A proposed 160MWdc solar farm north of Auckland
The Glorit Solar Farm is a 160MWdc project on the Kaipara Coast, north of Kaukapakapa, Auckland. Lightsource bp and Contact Energy will develop the solar farm, which is expected to have an operational life of at least 35 years. The site will connect to the existing Transpower 220kV transmission network via a 2km dedicated connection from the site to the transmission network. We are working closely with Transpower on this grid connection point.
We’re in the early stages of design and planning for the solar project and will continue to engage with the community and key stakeholders as the project progresses and design is refined.
