Meridian Energy, New Zealand power company, has received consent to develop the 120 MW Bunnythorpe Solar Farm north of Palmerston North in Manawatū, New Zealand. The project will be paired with an already approved battery energy storage system at the Bunnythorpe Energy Park. Around 250,000 solar panels are planned for the site, with annual generation expected to reach approximately 225 GWh. The output could supply electricity to around 30,000 average homes. The 280 ha site is located near Transpower’s Bunnythorpe substation between Ashhurst and Stoney Creek Roads. Meridian expects the project to create more than 100 local construction jobs and up to NZD 50 million in regional spending during construction. Final investment decision is expected in Q4 2027.
