"Lodestone Energy, New Zealand’s leading solar generation company, has already
celebrated the launch of two agrivoltaic solar farms this year, and is nearing
completion on a third.

While New Zealand has lagged well behind its larger Trans-Tasman neighbour in
the development of solar generating capacity, efforts are nevertheless being
made to reverse the trend.

Amongst those looking to expand New Zealand’s solar capacity is Lodestone
Energy. Founded in 2020, Lodestone has targeted the initial development of five
solar farms which will generate enough electricity to power the equivalent of
50,000 homes.

Two of those five farms are already up and running – including the 33MW Kohirā
solar farm in the Far North of the North Island near Kaitaia, and the 32MW
Rangitaiki solar farm near Edgecumbe in the Bay of Plenty."
