That will provide not only a good environmental outcome, it will provide a good climate outcome and it’ll give the sector a bit more certainty about where they can go."
We can’t lose our heads in the rush to renewables. We’ve got to be working towards good environmental and climate change outcomes, and not sacrifice one on the pillar of the other.”

"Australian-owned company FNSF Ltd in partnership with offshore investment company Aquila Capital has applied for consents to build a 180.8 hectare industrial solar farm in the beautiful Waipara Valley."

"Many local residents and businesses are passionate about the environment and support solar power done well - but there is community concern about the impact on the community, the details of this proposal, and the business history of FNSF's directors."

"In March, Transpower reported there were 30GW of new renewable generation 'in the pipeline' — about half of which were solar farms. While most of the projects were in an early stage, the state-owned enterprise believed the country was already on track to more than double our generation."

BTW why on earth is #Transpower structured as a corporation? The national grid it stewards is a natural monopoly, and it's 100% publicly-owned and always has been.
@strypey the UK equivalent (creatively named National Grid) is a private company, so it could be worse
"Greenpeace is also advocating for household solar projects to be given priority over large scale commercial projects. 'Just because energy production is renewable, it’s not necessarily sustainable', Greenpeace lead climate campaigner Christine Rose says. 'The adverse environmental and social impacts of the centralised ‘Think Big’ generation model can be addressed by rooftop solar and battery storage'.”

"In 2019, a Transpower report found that if 58 per cent of households and 25 per cent of businesses in New Zealand had rooftop solar it could provide more than half of the power generation required. If 69 per cent of households and 40 per cent of businesses install solar, it found it would generate two-thirds of our current power consumption."

Also, if you click on the #TransPower tag, you'll see that in 2025, giving an electricity company this kind of newspeak name creates potential for confusion with something totally unrelated ; )

This reminds me of the difference between PowergenItalia and PowerGenitalia
