Tilt, Genesis sign PPA for 75 MW Kaiwaikawe Wind farm near Dargaville

Genesis Energy and Tilt Renewables have signed a 20-year electricity off-take agreement for a planned new 75 MW wind farm near Dargaville, New Zealand.

The Kaiwaikawe Wind farm will cut carbon emissions from Genesis' thermal generation by an estimated 180,000 tonnes a year. Subject to resource consent, it is expected to be finished by early 2024 and support Genesis' Future-gen strategy to economically displace base load thermal generation with 2,650 GWh a year of new renewable electricity by 2030.
