It is owned and operated by Meridian Energy. The wind farm was officially opened in April 2009, when Prime Minister John Key turned on the first 15 turbines. Electricity from the farm is stepped-up to 110 kV and is injected into Transpower's national grid via a tee off one of its Wilton to Central Park lines. The wind farm was the winner of the Energy and Resources category in the 2012 New Zealand Engineering Excellence Awards.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Controversial wind farm Wins Prestigious Engineering Award )〕 == See also == * Wind power in New Zealand 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「Project West Wind」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
