Proposed Southland Wind Farm Project
Contact Energy is preparing a resource consent application for the proposed Southland Wind Farm.
The site is on elevated land east of Wyndham. Our early concepts estimate the farm could have about 50 wind turbines and generate as much as 300MW, providing a significant contribution to the energy supply in Southland and New Zealand.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
