Meridian Energy - West Wind TV Commercial

Meridian produces enough 100% renewable energy to power all the homes of Wellington city. Find out more. You'll be blown away!

"You may be surprised to learn that Wellington sometimes gets wind.

In fact, the funnelling effect of Cook Strait makes this one of the world's best locations for consistent wind - to produce 100% renewable energy.

So that's what Meridian decided to do.

They teamed up with Siemens, one of the world's renewable power generating giants. They're not really giants. Which is a shame, because it would have made installing the turbines here a lot easier.

They can usually put their turbines anywhere. But even they scratched their heads at the impossible access and rugged terrain.

So Meridian brought the turbines in by barge and transported them over the steepest roads that had ever been attempted.

They made what could be the best wind-farm on the planet.
It produces enough pure energy to power all the homes of Wellington City. Without emissions.

And Siemens was so blown away, that they use Meridian's West Wind farm as their pin-up project to show the world.

Phwoar... Check out the blades on that!"
