Abstract:
The plant, proposed for an area just north of Auckland in the Kaipara Harbour, would have a 200 megawatt capacity with 200 turbines, a DC-AC converter and a land substation. Two 20-mile DC cables will be buried a minimum of 4 feet underneath the harbor floor to reduce risks to the marine life. [See website for full text]
