Windflow Technology is a company based in Christchurch, New Zealand known for its unique wind turbine gearbox design.
It was listed on the New Zealand Stock Exchange on 2 December, 2003.[1] In October 2008, Mighty River Power Limited purchased a 19.95% share of Windflow Technology.[2][3]
Windflow Technology set up NZ Windfarms, a company that it wholly owned initially but now owns 3.6%.[4]
The operation of a Windflow Technology turbine installed at Gebbies Pass near Christchurch encountered opposition from local residents who raised concerns about noise. The noise output was tested and shown to be within the requirement of its resource consent.[5]
Windflow Technology is supplying the wind turbines for the Te Rere Hau Wind Farm near Palmerston North.[6] They are also contracted to supply turbines for Mighty River Power's proposed Long Gully Wind Farm.
The company has achieved ISO 9001:2000 certification for the design and production of its Windflow 500 wind turbine.[7]
