Renewable energy on a whole new scale
Enabling New Zealand's low carbon future
Christchurch Airport’s Kōwhai Park is a platform for creating a range of green energies. Phase One will see Contact Energy and Lightsource bp deliver a 150 megawatt (or 170MWp) solar array – larger than any other currently in New Zealand.
Grays Road and Ryans Road – Road works
Grays Road will be closed from 11 August for approximately six months due to essential cabling works.
Ryans Road will also operate one-way (eastbound only) from 7 am to 7 pm, and be closed at all other times.
If you have any questions about the closure, please call the Kowhai Park team on 0800 225 513 or email kowhaiparkproject@lightsourcebp.com
Overview
Phase One is planned as a solar array larger than any other in New Zealand currently. However, Kōwhai Park is about much more than solar.
Rationale
Kōwhai Park will provide a resilient supply of clean energy which New Zealand needs to decarbonise through electrification.
