New Zealand's Windflow Technology sources more than 90% of its wind turbine components from within New Zealand. It says this means that a $100 million wind farm using Windflow turbines, invests more than $92m directly into the NZ economy. In comparison, a $100m wind farm using imported turbines, invests about $20m locally, mainly in foundations, roads, transport and electrical connections.
Christchurch based Windflow is continuing to expand its manufacturing capabilities, in order to complete the remaining 92 turbines scheduled for delivery to Te Rere Hau, a north island site, over the next 18 months. The final installation of 97 will generate 48.5MW.
