From Afternoons, 1:15 pm on 7 March 2024

A new solar farm is up and running in Kaitaia, and it's pinched the crown as New Zealand's largest solar installation to date.

It has been named 'Kohirā', which translates to 'suncatcher'.

Lodestone Energy held an official opening ceremony on the 29th of February, which brought together local iwi, Te Rarawa, construction partners and energy partners who worked on the project.

Lodestone Energy managing director Gary Holden speaks to Jesse.
