This announcement coincides with the conclusion of its joint venture with Genesis Energy, an agreement that facilitated FRV Australia\u2019s entry into the New Zealand market and accelerated the development of multiple solar projects in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>FRV Australia has purchased the Rangit\u012bkei project from the joint venture. Covering an area of approximately 450 hectares, the solar farm will generate around 350,000 MWh per year, enough to power approximately 45,000 homes. In addition, it will help avoid approximately 35,000 tonnes of CO\u2082 emissions annually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The project will bring local employment creating a peak of 250 jobs, with an average of 75 workers over an expected 24-month construction period. The project design also includes the potential for future integration of a battery energy storage system (BESS), which will enhance grid flexibility and resilience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cWith Rangit\u012bkei, we are taking another step in our efforts to contribute to New Zealand\u2019s low emission energy future. The development of this project contributes to FRV Australia\u2019s vision of leading the energy transition in this region, supporting local economic development, and contributing to the green electrification goals of Aotearoa,\u201d said Carlo Frigerio, CEO of FRV Australia.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>At the same time, FRV Australia has expressed its gratitude to Genesis Energy for its role during the joint venture, noting that the relationship between the two companies will continue through their co-ownership of the Lauriston solar farm (Canterbury), which began generation in November 2024 as the largest solar farm New Zealand at the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cWe greatly value our collaboration with Genesis, which has been instrumental in this journey and a testimony of the strong partnership and capability to deliver projects. FRV Australia now continues its journey as we explore new renewable development opportunities in the country,\u201d Frigerio added.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":30586,"menu_order":0,"template":"","class_list":["post-30757","pressrelease","type-pressrelease","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>FRV Australia announces the development of the 210 MWdc Rangit\u012bkei solar project in New Zealand - Abdul Latif Jameel<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"noindex, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"FRV Australia announces the development of the 210 MWdc Rangit\u012bkei solar project in New Zealand - Abdul Latif Jameel\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Fotowatio Renewable Ventures (FRV) Australia, a leading developer of sustainable energy solutions, and part of Jameel Energy and the Canadian infrastructure fund OMERS, announces the active development of the Rangit\u012bkei solar project, located in the Rangit\u012bkei District of New Zealand\u2019s North Island, with a proposed &nbsp;capacity of 210 MWdc.
