New Zealand - Carbon neutral wind energy the best option

Carbon neutral wind energy can close off nuclear option

The Wind Energy Association says confirmation that TrustPower’s Tararua Wind Farm has become carbon neutral only a few months after commissioning provides evidence that wind energy can help make nuclear energy a non-starter in New Zealand.

Fraser Clark, head of the Association, says the carbon neutral status of the Tararua Wind farm shows that wind energy can help New Zealand reach almost 100% renewable energy without contributing to climate change.

A study of the Tararua Wind Farm project showed it will generate 55 to 60 times more energy over 20 years than the energy consumed in its manufacture, construction and de-commissioning.

“Nuclear energy is not necessary in New Zealand, and this study shows why – we have plenty of renewable carbon neutral options, including wind energy.

“Wind energy is a clear solution if the nation wants its future energy sources to be renewable and carbon neutral.

“It is particularly pleasing to see that the carbon neutral return on investment in wind energy is realised very fast,” Mr Clark said.
