Located in the Far North near Kaitaia, Kohirā is Aotearoa’s first utility-scale solar farm to supply the national grid. Constructed in 2023, Lodestone’s Kohirā solar farm with with 33 MW capacity is now operational.
The agri-voltaic project brought together local iwi, communities, construction partners, and Lodestone’s team to deliver renewable energy by harnessing the power of the sun, continuing to enable agricultural use of the land, and planting seven hectares to create a new native forest.
Kohirā is just the start of Lodestone’s energy generation future.
