Abstract

Detailed wind investigations have begun near the Clutha River in Central Otago, New Zealand to look for topographically augmented sites suitable for windfarm development close to large existing and potential hydroelectric power stations on the River. The main problem for immediate economic development of the sites is the competition from the very low priced electricity usually available from the national grid, so only easy access sites with the highest available wind speeds are being studied. Of the 8 sites so far investigated, all appear to be suitable for further investigation. Support through an ECNZ Research Contract is gratefully acknowledged.
