The Mt Munro site is in the northern Wairarapa region, approximately 5km south of Eketahuna.
Wind monitoring has been undertaken by Meridian Energy on this site since late 2009 and the studies to identify and quantify the potential effects on the environment have also been completed. The wind farm would have a maximum output of 60-70 megawatts and connect to a nearby national grid transmission line. Resource consents for this project have not yet been secured.
