"Despite losing $30 million in funding, a small group of residents in the Wellington suburb of Brooklyn is fighting to keep plans for a wind farm on the radar. Plans for a 25-turbine wind farm in Long Gully Station near the Wellington suburb were put on ice in 2010 when Mighty River Power withdrew $30m of funding from the Windflow Technology project. Mighty River still has a stake in Windflow, but a spokesman has said the energy company will not be looking to develop the Long Gully wind farm any longer" Full story: http://www.stuff.co.nz/business/industries/7430799/Wellington-residents-fight-for-wind-farm News service provided by: www.energymonitor.org.nz |
