20,904 modules installed at Reefton

20,904 modules installed at Reefton.
Module installation is complete across the 13.5 MW Reefton Solar Farm - a major milestone as the project moves closer to becoming an operational renewable energy asset.
With the full array now in place, electrical works, and testing are continuing across the site ahead of connection.
Reefton is another example of utility-scale solar moving from development into delivery across New Zealand, strengthening the pipeline of new renewable generation coming onto the grid.
A huge effort from everyone involved in reaching this point, including our construction partner New Energy.
