Vestas has won a 26MW turbine supply order for the Kapuni Wind Farm in New Zealand from Hiringa Energy.
The contract covers the installation of four V162-6.4MW EnVentus turbines that have been optimised to boost energy output.
Vestas said the order also includes a 20-year service agreement to ensure reliable long-term clean power for local communities and industry.
The Kapuni project is led by Hiringa Energy in partnership with Balance Agri-Nutrients, Todd, PKW and MBIE, and is described as one of New Zealand’s first large-scale wind schemes to support green hydrogen production at scale.
Catherine Clennett, Hiringa co-founder and chairperson, said: “Vestas’s cutting-edge technology and proven track record in New Zealand will strengthen our energy generation capacity, enabling us to reliably supply clean hydrogen across our network.”
She added: “Their experience delivering major wind projects and long-term service partnerships gives us confidence in the reliability of our renewable energy supply.”
Danny Nielsen, senior vice president and country head for Australia and New Zealand at Vestas, stated: “Partnering with Hiringa Energy enables us to convert New Zealand’s world-leading wind resources into other forms of energy such as clean hydrogen, supporting a secure and independent energy supply.”
He said: “Together, we are contributing to a reliable, zero-emission energy future.”
Deliveries are expected to begin in the first quarter of 2026 with commissioning planned for the second quarter of 2027.
