Titoki

Wind Farm

Overview

Titoki is a proposed 266-megawatt (MW) wind energy project located on the boundary between Hawke’s Bay and Manawatū-Whanganui, around 25 km from the east coast. By harnessing the strong and consistent westerly and north-westerly winds of southern Hawke’s Bay, the project has the potential to generate large-scale clean energy for communities across Aotearoa.

Developed in partnership with Tākitimu iwi, local hapū, Māori landholders, and regional partners, Titoki will be guided by the principles of kaitiakitanga (guardianship) and whanaungatanga (relationships). Engagement will also include the Tararua and Central Hawke’s Bay District Councils, along with the Hawke’s Bay and Horizons Regional Councils, to ensure the project delivers enduring environmental, economic, and community benefits.

Titoki is a proposed 266-megawatt (MW) wind farm spanning the boundary between Hawke’s Bay and Manawatū-Whanganui, around 25 km from the east coast.

The project will harness the strong westerly and north-westerly winds of southern Hawke’s Bay to deliver large-scale clean energy for Aotearoa.

Strong wind resource: High wind frequency from the west-northwest
Location: LUC 6 — non-arable land, moderate slope, dense vegetation
Visibility considerations: SH52 and surrounding landscapes

Energy Impact:
• 59 turbines of 4.5 MW capacity generating up to 853 GWh/year
• Enough to power more than 117,500 homes across Aotearoa
• Potential for significant capacity expansion via neighbouring properties

Titoki is more than a wind project — it’s a partnership-based commitment to kaitiakitanga, renewable energy, and shared prosperity. Together with mana whenua, local communities, and project partners, we aim to deliver enduring environmental, cultural, and economic benefits.

Location

Project Lifecycle

  1. Concept

    Potential sites are mapped and studied, with early engagement to understand landowner interests and opportunities.

  2. Feasibility

    Detailed wind, solar, and environmental assessments confirm whether a site can support a commercially and technically viable project.

  3. Project Development

    Current stage

    Planning approvals, community and iwi engagement, and commercial agreements are advanced to prepare projects for financial close.

  4. Construction

    Turbines, solar panels, and infrastructure are built and connected to the grid, creating jobs and local economic activity.

  5. Operations

    Projects deliver clean electricity to the market while being actively monitored, maintained, and optimised for performance.

  6. Decommissioning

    At project end-of-life, assets are dismantled or repowered, and land is responsibly restored for future use.
