Tauhei Solar Farm

The Tauhei solar farm is a proposed photovoltaic power station in New Zealand. The farm will be constructed near Te Aroha in the Matamata-Piako District by UK-based Harmony Energy, and will generate 147MW when complete.

The project applied for fast-track consent under the Covid-19 Recovery (Fast-Track Consenting) Act 2020 in December 2021. The project would convert a dairy farm to sheep, and farming would continue alongside electricity generation. Consent was granted in September 2022. Construction is expected to begin in 2024, and be complete in 2025.
