The offshore wind technology can measure wind speeds, waves and currents.
A device that can measure wind speeds, waves and currents will be the first physical piece of offshore wind technology deployed in New Zealand.
New Zealand's two largest offshore wind energy proponents have reached at agreement to work together with Port Taranaki to assess whether the port can serve as a hub for the sector.
