Welcome to the Wind Wiki

The Wind Wiki is a knowledge base designed to provide clear, practical information on wind energy development. It is a resource for landowners, communities, investors, and other stakeholders who want to understand how wind farms are developed, from site selection to construction and operation.

This wiki is intended as a general resource to help demystify the wind energy development process and provide reliable, practical information. While technical details are available for industry professionals, the focus is on making wind energy development understandable for everyone with an interest in the topic.

It also includes technical guidance sections for professionals working with NZ Renewables UK in wind energy—such as land agents, developers, and engineers—covering grid connections, permitting processes, environmental assessments, and other specialist topics. These sections are intended for internal use but are referenced where relevant.
