Abstract

The New Zealand Government has a goal of a 100% renewable electricity system by 2035. Wind generation is expected to play a major role in achieving this target. However, there is limited public data on current and potential wind generation. We use the Renewables.ninja model to simulate wind output at 44 wind farm sites in New Zealand over a 20-year period. We make our data publicly available and use them to analyse New Zealand’s wind resources.
