The New Zealand company has won the award for taking action to adapt to a changing climate and transition to a low-carbon future for Taranaki.
Nova Energy created the first grid-scale solar farm in the country in Kapuni, providing key data on how the energy sector can decarbonise.
Melany Hunt, Nova Energy Stakeholder, Community and Sustainability Leader, says: “Nova Energy developed the Kapuni solar power plant to demonstrate that electricity generation, the environment, tangata whenua and agriculture can coexist in a sustainable win-win environment. It takes a village to build a successful power plant and Nova Energy could not have done it without help from the Kapuni community and tangata whenua.”
