Generation Hosting Capacity Maps

Kia О̄ra koutou and welcome to our new Large Scale Distributed Generation Hosting Capacity Map.

We're really pleased to share it with you so you can estimate what capacity might be available on our network. It's important to note that the map is an estimate only and we don't make any warranty about its accuracy or completeness.

Currently, it only covers the high voltage (HV) network, which means the data is intended for large-scale generators to assist with preliminary feasibility and site selection. This data is not suitable for residential customers seeking to install smaller-scale generation systems, such as rooftop solar, which would connect to the low voltage (LV) network, and is not included in this map.

If you wish to progress your project, please reach out to us at LSDGManager@networkwaitaki.co.nz so we can work together to determine the available capacity for your specific needs.

We wish to acknowledge Powerco’s generosity in sharing their processes and learnings with us and the ENA Future Networks Forum for enabling this collaboration.

For further information and to make an application please head to our 'Solar and other distributed generation' page.
