Consultation

Working with the community

MainPower has been looking at renewable energy opportunities in the North Canterbury and Kaikoura region for several years and have found some very promising opportunities.

Our vision is to contribute to the local community by being a leading electricity and energy business.  Part of this vision includes looking for opportunities to use the region’s abundant renewable resources to generate enough energy for our entire region, leaving it less reliant on other sources. Our investigations have included monitoring the wind resource at Mt Cass, near Waipara and we have recently applied for resource consent to build a wind farm there. 

MainPower has organised different ways for the community to be involved in the consultation process. Click here for more information.

We continue to investigate other opportunities in the region to generate electricity from our renewable resources.

MainPower is committed to serving its local community well. Before any development occurs we will hold a full consultation process.

We are looking to generate electricity locally, using our region’s resources, for the benefit of the region. We want to do this with the community’s support.
