Genesis Energy secures fast-track approval for 220 mwp Foxton Solar Farm. 18th August 2026 Genesis Energy has secured fast-track approval to develop a 220-megawatt peak (MWp) solar farm near Foxton in New Zealand's Horowhenua District, marking another major step in the country's transition toward renewable energy. The proposed Foxton Solar Farm will be located about 10 kilometers north of Foxton and will cover approximately 400 to 436 hectares of rural land. Genesis Energy submitted its application in February 2026, with an independent expert panel completing its assessment and granting consent within three and a half months. The project will feature around 150,000 photovoltaic panels installed on single-axis tracking systems. These trackers will follow the sun's movement during the day, helping maximize electricity generation. Once operational, the solar farm is expected to generate approximately 345,000 MWh of renewable electricity annually, enough to supply around 43,000 to 47,000 homes. The development is also expected to reduce carbon emissions by an estimated 25,000 tonnes each year. It will connect directly to an existing 220-kilovolt overhead transmission line that crosses the property, supporting efficient integration of the generated electricity into New Zealand's power grid. The project is expected to provide significant economic benefits to the Manawatū-Whanganui region. Construction could create up to 250 local jobs, while regional businesses in transport, hospitality, accommodation and equipment supply are also expected to benefit. Following construction, ongoing operations and maintenance activities will create longer-term opportunities for local contractors and workers. Genesis Energy has also designed the project to maintain the agricultural use of the land. The solar panels will be elevated on driven piles, allowing sheep and other livestock to continue grazing beneath the arrays. This approach enables the land to support both renewable electricity generation and agricultural activity. The Foxton project is the 32nd initiative and the eighth renewable energy development to receive approval through New Zealand's accelerated consenting regime. The government says fast-track projects are helping strengthen regional resilience and expand national electricity capacity. Collectively, fast-tracked renewable projects are expected to add more than 990 MW of clean energy to New Zealand's grid, increasing total electricity generation capacity by more than 5 percent. The Foxton Solar Farm is expected to operate for at least 35 years, contributing to the country's long-term clean energy goals.

Published on: Aug 18, 2026, 1:21 am Foxton Solar Farm wins fast-track approval. Genesis Energy has received fast-track approval to develop a 220 MW solar farm near Foxton, New Zealand. The project is expected to generate about 345 GWh of renewable electricity annually, enough to power approximately 47,000 homes. Genesis submitted the application in February 2026, with approval taking about 3.5 months after an independent expert panel was appointed. It is the 32nd project and eighth renewable energy project to receive Fast-track approval in New Zealand, according to the government, which is working to speed up processing and approval time for solar in the country (see New Zealand Targets 'Simplest' Solar Approvals In Developed World). Edify Energy has reached financial close on two Queensland hybrid projects combining 360 MW of solar with 300 MW/1,200 MWh of battery storage. Edify secures funding for Queensland solar-battery projects. La Caisse-backed Edify Energy of Australia has reached financial close on its Ganymirra and Majors Creek solar and battery hybrid projects in Queensland. Located near Townsville in Woodstock, the projects will combine 360 MW of solar generation with 300 MW/1,200 MWh of battery storage capacity. The projects are backed by the Australian Government's Capacity Investment Scheme (CIS) and are Edify's third and fourth projects to reach financial close under the scheme. They are expected to become operational in 2028 and generate enough electricity to power more than 100,000 homes. Edify said it achieved financial close on the projects across a syndicate of 14 domestic and international lenders. DT Infrastructure is the EPC contractor and CATL the battery supplier for the project, along with Powerlink, the network and connection works head contractor. Tomago secures renewable power deal through 2038. Australia's largest aluminum smelter, Tomago Aluminium, will source 100% clean energy supply for its operations, underpinning nearly 3 GW of new renewable energy and firming capacity. With the governments of Australia and New South Wales (NSW) contributing a combined AUD 2.5 billion to ensure sustained operations, Tomago will enter into a 10-year power purchase agreement (PPA) covering electricity supply through 2038. The smelter will be supplied with 100% renewable electricity from 2033, when the current power contract with AGL expires on December 31, 2028. Tomago Aluminium will invest AUD 1.1 billion in the smelter through 2038, including AUD 100 million for decarbonization initiatives. Rio Tinto, Tomago Aluminium's largest shareholder, said the shift to fully renewable electricity is expected to cut the smelter's Scope 1 and 2 operating emissions by 7.1 million tons a year. The agreement is also intended to provide long-term power certainty for the smelter while supporting the integration of more renewable energy into NSW's electricity system. Tomago Aluminum is the biggest electricity user in NSW; hence, its shift to renewable energy will accelerate decarbonization of more than 10% of the state's electricity grid. Tokyu Land and i-Grid Solutions have established a second fund targeting 300 MW of rooftop solar development in Japan. Tokyu Land, i-Grid set 300-MW solar target. Japanese real estate company Tokyu Land Corporation and energy solutions firm i-Grid Solutions have established a second fund, TLC VPP2 LLC, to expand their collaboration on rooftop solar on-site PPA projects in Japan. The duo is targeting 300 MW of cumulative development, with plans to invest about JPY 10 billion. The fund follows their first fund, established in November 2023. As of the end of June 2026, the companies had developed about 73 MW, progressing toward their initial target of 100 MW within three years. The new fund will receive rooftop solar projects developed and transferred by i-Grid. Tokyu Land said it aims to strengthen its ownership and operation of distributed solar projects to establish it as a new revenue stream. i-Grid had developed 1,410 solar power plants totaling about 357 MW as of the end of March 2026. Recurrent energizes 150 MW Carwarp solar Park. Canadian Solar subsidiary Recurrent Energy has started commercial operations at its 150 MW AC Carwarp Energy Park near Mildura in Victoria, Australia. The utility-scale solar project is backed by a long-term PPA with Microsoft and is connected to Australia's National Electricity Market (NEM). The project is equipped with approximately 243,000 TOPCon solar modules from Canadian Solar and is expected to generate around 405 GWh of renewable electricity annually, according to the developer. Recurrent Energy said that the Carwarp Energy Park has planning and grid approvals for a future 120-MW battery energy storage system (BESS), creating a pathway for hybrid solar-plus-storage operations.

Drury depot marks new chapter for Genesis LPG network. * about * / * news * / * Drury depot marks new chapter for Genesis LPG network. Genesis has celebrated the opening of a new LPG depot in Drury, marking a major investment in the future of its LPG business. The state-of-the-art facility will strengthen supply across South Auckland and North Waikato while providing a safer, larger and more efficient base for operations. The ceremony included representatives from Ngāti Tamaoho Charitable Trust, connecting the occasion to the whenua, recognising those who have contributed and preparing the new depot for its purpose. Genesis CE Malcolm Johns cut the ribbon. Replacing the former Pukekohe depot, the new site will support more than 4,000 residential customers and almost 270 small and medium businesses. GM LPG Operations Neil Crookes said Drury's location positions Genesis to meet rising demand as the region continues to expand. "Drury's population is set to soar, so we're in the right place to build our presence for future customers." The depot's role extends beyond serving local customers. It will also become a key distribution hub for new LPG cylinders entering the Upper North Island. With around 30,000 cylinders distributed across the region last year, the new facility will help keep supply moving efficiently across the network. Safety was a key consideration in the depot's design. Automated filling processes, gas detection systems and purpose-built engineering controls help reduce risk and support safer day-to-day operations. Johns said the attention to detail is what sets the new facility apart. "It's been designed in a bespoke way and has a lot of safety features wrapped around it." Those improvements are already making a difference for the team on site. The larger depot has removed many of the space constraints the team worked around at Pukekohe, smoothing workflow and allowing more trucks to load at once. For Drury Delivery Team Lead Craig Townsend, the biggest difference has been the extra flexibility. "We could normally only have about four trucks at the dock at a time. Now we've got 10, so we've got much more freedom and flexibility around the way we do our work." Looking ahead, Johns said Drury is another example of Genesis continuing to invest in the parts of the business that will support customers for years to come. "We see LPG as a growth part of our business. It's about delivering energy that never stops, whether that's electricity or LPG." Media contact. Sulu Vaeau-Mulitalo Communications Advisor
