Blog

Welcome to MainPower’s local generation blog. I hope this blog will provide a forum for people to discuss our local generation and energy efficiency activities and to ask any associated questions. Blogging’s new to me and the team and we’re not sure what response we’ll get, but we view this as another “venue” for discussing our generation plans with our community and other stakeholders. My colleagues and I will regularly update the blog with progress on our generation activities including plans to build a wind farm at Mt Cass.

We’ll also post comments on relevant associated issues like developments in renewable energy and wind farms, both in New Zealand and internationally. I hope you will do the same.

We look forward to blogging with you!

Ecology

Posted by Andrew, on the 1st July 2008

Ecology is looking to be one of the key issues for this wind farm. Our view is that the site clearly has important ecological values but the wind farm will have a very small impact and there is in fact potential for improvement through measures like re-planting, destocking and pest control.
