Sixth renewable energy project fast-tracked

Māhinerangi Wind Farm is the 26th project and the sixth renewable energy project to receive approval through the Fast-track process.

Tararua Wind Power Limited lodged a substantive application in November 2025 to expand and operate the existing Māhinerangi Wind Farm near Eldorado Track, approximately 50 kilometres west of Dunedin and 5 kilometres north of Lake Māhinerangi.

Approval has taken four and a half months since the independent expert panel commenced.
