Significant Demand Growth – NZ requires c. 1,100 GWh of new renewable energy generation p.a. for the next 30 years, the majority of which will come from wind.
Significant Demand Growth – NZ requires c. 1,100 GWh of new renewable energy generation p.a. for the next 30 years, the majority of which will come from wind.
Peak Price Capture – Wind generation’s daily peaks (early morning and evening) and seasonal peaks (winter and early spring) match the timing where demand and pricing are strong. The daily peak is illustrated with Australian data below, as their market is well developed in both wind and solar, unlike NZ.
Ventus aims to create a diverse portfolio of operating wind farms that will be attractive to the public markets or overseas operators who do not have the expertise to enter the NZ market at the development stage. In the course of this, Ventus will seek to release and recycle capital from construction or operation phase projects (e.g. by introducing infrastructure investors at the asset company level) to accelerate its overall development pipeline.
Ventus’ developments are focused on the Upper North Island, which provides proximity to NZ’s highest centre of demand. This location provides higher wholesale electricity prices and a greater concentration of businesses seeking to sign offtake agreements for verifiable green energy.
Ventus is led by a highly experienced and passionate management team, who are committed to creating a transformative renewable energy platform that will benefit NZ.
