The Project
Harbour Wind facilitated the installation of a small-scale wind turbine at Orton Bradley Park.
Our brief was to weave together the complex strands required to complete the project. This involved raising the required money but also acquiring council consent, ensuring positive community engagement, turbine and installer choice, liaising with Orion and Meridian and ensuring the Orton Bradley Park Charitable Trust was happy with the process and result.
The turbine selected is a Thin Air 102 2kW unit made in Dunedin by Powerhouse Wind.
Orton Bradley Park is a private farm park located in Charteris Bay on the Banks Peninsula. The park consists of heritage buildings, agricultural relics, magnificent towering trees and extensive walking tracks through protected and regenerating native bush.
Harbour Wind is committed to seeding similar projects on the Banks Peninsula. If you are a community group with suitable site then please contact us.
