The project’s solar element will comprise 140,000 single-axis tracking modules, 13 inverters and a co-located battery energy storage system (BESS) of an undisclosed capacity.
Selwyn District Council granted consent for the project in May 2024. The proposed Buckleys Road site is adjacent to the Brookside 66kV substation and has close access to the grid and Christchurch, a significant demand hotspot.
