NZ Windfarms Ltd is a long term specialist wind farm owner and operator, with it's revenue coming from the sale of sustainably generated electricity from it's Te Rere Hau wind farm. The Te Rere Hau wind farm is situated on North Range Road in the Tararua Ranges approximately 11 kilometres from Palmerston North. The site operates 91 Windflow Technology WF500 turbines, with an output of 45.5 MW, capable of producing approximately 116.7 GWh's of renewable electricity per annum enough to power about 16,000 homes, or in excess of half the households in Palmerston North.


The wind farm provides economic benefit to the country through providing electricity generation close to where it is needed and an estimated $2m to the local community through the employment of local residents and purchase of other goods and services. TRH Services Ltd (100% owned and controlled by NZ Windfarms Ltd) is the entity responsible for the operation and maintenance of Te Rere Hau wind farm.


The electricity generated is fed into the national grid through a transmission line connected to the node at the adjacent Tararua wind farm.
