Harmony Energy Limited, a renewable energy infrastructure developer, has received resource consent for a major solar farm and energy storage project in Carterton, New Zealand. The project will generate enough electricity to power approximately 20,000 homes, making a significant contribution to New Zealand's climate change efforts and its transition to a low-emissions economy. In addition to enhancing energy security, the initiative is set to make clean energy more affordable.

During the 18-month construction phase, the project is expected to create around 300 full-time equivalent (FTE) jobs, providing a substantial boost to local employment and the economy.

This development follows the recent approval of two similar Harmony Energy projects in New Zealand; one in Opunake and one in Marton. All three projects have the potential to store the energy they generate, enabling it to be used when it is needed most. Together, these projects are expected to generate roughly 700 FTE jobs and power around 50,000 homes, representing a major investment in the country’s renewable energy future.

Pete Grogan, Director at Harmony Energy, commented:
“These projects not only support our environmental and energy security goals but will also help local businesses thrive through job creation and economic growth. Renewable energy infrastructure is crucial for the future of our planet, and Harmony Energy is proud to lead this change.

“Securing resource consent for a third project in such a short period is a significant milestone for Harmony Energy. All our projects also allow for continued farming and incorporate extensive native planting to enhance biodiversity. The designs reflect a collaborative approach, with the team working closely with mana whenua and local partners. Collaboration, together with sustainability, innovation and safety are core values at Harmony Energy, so it’s fantastic to see those values being reflected so strongly in the New Zealand business.”
