Projects

From substations to solar farms, our projects have contributed to the safe and reliable supply of electricity to New Zealanders. We work with clients across the electricity industry including electricity generators, electricity distributors, engineering consultants, electrical contractors and equipment suppliers.

New Plymouth Airport Solar Farm

Located near the New Plymouth Airport, the solar farm will comprise 14,400 solar panels and generate 14MWh of electricity, enough to power around 2000 homes for a year. The solar farm connects to the Powerco network at 11kV. The solar farm is being developed by New Plymouth Airport and will be designed and constructed by Infratec. Linework has been proud to support the Infratec team with tender reviews, document creation and a range of other project support services. Find out more about this project here.

Rotohiko Battery Energy Storage System

Located near Huntly in the mighty Waikato region, the Rotohiko Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) comprises 16 battery containers and 4 inverter systems and has an overall energy storage capacity of 33MWh. The BESS connects to the distribution network at 33kV. The site can store enough energy to meet the daily demands of over 2,000 homes. We’ve been involved in the project since 2022 when work began on the site. This is a NewPower Energy owned plant that was designed and built by Infratec. We’ve been involved in tender reviews, site visits, providing safety and compliance advice and developing and implementing a work management system for Infratec. We’ve also provided NewPower Energy with post-project support.

Kaitaia Solar Farm

Located inland from Ninety Mile Beach in the Far North, this solar farm uses more than 60,000 photovoltaic modules to generate electricity and connects to the distribution network at 33kV. The solar farm started generating in late 2023 and is expected to produce over 50GWh of electricity annually. This is a Lodestone owned plant that was built by Infratec. We’ve assisted the Infratec team by providing safety and compliance advice, document reviews and support with systems and processes.

Gisborne Solar Farm

Located near Edgecumbe in the Bay of Plenty, this solar farm will generate enough electricity to power around 7,500 homes each year. Comprising more than 60,000 photovoltaic modules and connecting to the distribution network at 33kV, this solar farm is expected to generate more than 50 GWh of electricity each year. This is a Lodestone owned plant that is being built by Infratec. We’re providing project support as well as safety and compliance advice to the Infratec team.

Located near Gisborne Airport in Eastland, this solar farm uses 8,000 photovoltaic modules to generate enough renewable electricity to power the equivalent of 1,000 typical homes. This 5MW solar farm connects to the electricity distribution network at 11kV and is expected to generate over 7GWh of electricity annually. This is an Eastland Generation owned plant that was designed and built by Infratec. We’ve assisted the Infratec project team by providing safety and compliance advice, document reviews and support with systems and processes.

Edgecumbe Solar Farm

This 87 GWh solar farm is located in the Waiotahe Valley in the Bay of Plenty and will comprise nearly 90,000 solar panels. This is a Lodestone owned plant that is being built by Infratec. We’ve helped the Infratec team with tender evaluations, document reviews and back-end system administration.

Waiotahe Solar Farm

Naumai Solar Farm

Located in Northland alongside the Wairoa River, this solar farm comprises around 7,500 photovoltaic modules and connects to the electricity distribution network at 11kV. This is a NewPower Energy owned plant that was designed by Infratec and is currently under construction. From site visits to contractor pre-qualification and safety and compliance advice, we’re providing ongoing support to the Infratec team.
