The Mahinerangi Wind Farm is a wind farm on the north side of Lake Mahinerangi, around 50 km west of Dunedin, in Otago, New Zealand. Stage one of the wind farm, generating 36 MW, was commissioned in March 2011, and an additional 164 MW is consented to be commissioned in further stages. The wind farm is owned and operated by generator-retailer TrustPower. It is the company's third wind farm, and the second major wind farm to be built in the South Island. ==History== Resource consent was granted in 2007〔(TrustPower Welcomes Mahinerangi Wind Farm Decision ) (2007-10-01) Scoop〕 and later confirmed after an appeal to the Environment Court. Construction of stage 1 of the wind farm, consisting of twelve turbines, began in September 2010.〔(【引用サイトリンク】date=15 December 2010 )〕 Vestas V90-3MW turbines were chosen for the wind farm, having previously used by TrustPower for stage 3 of its Tararua Wind Farm in 2007. Turbines were shipped to Port Chalmers, and trucked through Dunedin to their final site. The wind farm generated its first electricity on 21 February 2011, with the first two turbines being commissioned. All twelve stage one turbines were completed and generating electricity by the end of March 2011.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= DUNEDIN’S NEWEST WIND FARM OPEN TO THE PUBLIC )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mahinerangi Wind Farm」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
