[5] Construction of stage 1 of the wind farm, consisting of twelve turbines, began in September 2010.

[1][2] The wind farm will be contained within 17.23 km2 (6.65 sq mi) of land at an elevation of 600 to 730 metres above sea level and about 50 kilometres west of Dunedin.

[3] Electricity generated from Stage 1 turbines is injected into the nearby Deep Stream and Waipori hydro schemes.

[2] Electricity from Stage 1 and the hydro schemes is then injected into either Dunedin's local distribution network, or into Transpower's Halfway Bush-Balclutha-Gore 110 kV line at Berwick.

Instead, it will inject into Transpower's Halfway Bush-Roxburgh 110 kV line, which passes a short distance south of the wind farm.
