Actually it was our first visit to the Meridian Energy’s Te Apiti Wind Farm one of the most famous trademark in New Zealand. This place only about 20 minutes from our place. This wind farm is located on Saddle Road north of the Manawatu Gorge, 10 kilometres from the city of Palmerston North. It is situated within 1,150 hectares of farmland owned by several landowners. This place is open for public from 8.30 to 5 pm
Te Apiti Wind Farm is the first wind farm to supply electricity. Nowadays New Zealand has 8 operating wind farms which supply about 2.5% of New Zealand’s annual electricity generation. This total electricity generated is same amount of electricity as 145,000 New Zealand homes use in a year.
We can see the view of wind farm from our place but it just a tiny turbine more look like as turbine in Teletubbies World. But when I reached this place .... WOW!!!!!!!!! My jaw was almost dropping down... We felt like in the land of giant. There are 55 turbine with gigantic blade was spinning over our head. The tower with 70 meter height as if going to fall down on us. What amazing experience.
