Renewable energy on a whole new scale
Enabling New Zealand's low carbon future
Christchurch Airport’s Kōwhai Park is a platform for creating a range of green energies. Phase One will see Contact Energy and Lightsource bp deliver a 150 megawatt (or 170MWp) solar array – larger than any other currently in New Zealand.
Ryans Road – Road works
From 21 July for three-weeks the Eastern end of Ryans Road will only allow east bound traffic between 7am – 7pm and will be closed completely from 7pm – 7am. This is to allow essential cabling works to support the construction of Kōwhai Park.
Overview
Phase One is planned as a solar array larger than any other in New Zealand currently. However, Kōwhai Park is about much more than solar.
Rationale
Kōwhai Park will provide a resilient supply of clean energy which New Zealand needs to decarbonise through electrification.
