Kohirā Solar Farm

The Kohirā solar farm is a photovoltaic power station near Kaitaia in the Far North District of New Zealand. The farm is owned by Lodestone Energy. When complete, the farm will generate 55 GWh of electricity a year, with a nameplate capacity of 32 MWp DC and 23 MW AC.

The farm uses elevated racks, allowing the area underneath the panels to be used for sheep pasture.

Construction of the farm began in December 2022. It generated its first electricity in November 2023. It began transmitting electricity to the grid in February 2024.

The farm was gifted the name "Kohirā" ("suncatcher") by local iwi Te Rarawa.
