Energy Marlborough, a subsidiary of Marlborough lines, has announced its new Seaview solar farm produced its first energy in October. The solar farm, adjacent to Yealands Winery, had 6168 solar panels, which Energy Marlborough said made it the largest farm in the upper South Island. Marlborough Lines chief executive Tim Cosgrove said the new solar farm represented a significant investment in renewable energy. He said the solar farm was a major step forward in meeting the region's growing local energy needs "more sustainably". Energy Marlborough said work to construct an even larger solar farm in Ward started this month.
