On 28 August 2019 Tilt Renewables advised its board had approved the investment in the 133 MW Waipipi (formerly Waverley Wind Farm).

The Association issued a media statement in support of the development which represents another important milestone in the growth of wind energy following the announcement of Mercury’s Turitea Wind farm in March.

Waipipi and Turitea represent an investment of over $500 million with an annual output of 925 GWh’s enough electricity to power, on average over 400,000 electric vehicles.
