Te Āpiti Wind Farm
Te Āpiti is a wind farm owned and operated by Meridian Energy. It is located on 11.5 km2 of land north of the Manawatū Gorge in the North Island of New Zealand. At 90.75 MW, it was New Zealand's largest capacity wind farm until September 2007, when the third stage of the nearby Tararua Wind Farm was completed.

The $100 million wind farm consists of 55 separate turbines capable of generating 1.65 MW each, representing a total capacity of 90.75 MW. Each turbine is atop a 70-metre-high (230 ft) tower. It is fitted with 3 blades each 35 metres in length.

In 2024 the wind farm reached the end of its original operating life. Meridian contracted the manufacturer Vestas to conduct an End-of-Life (EOL) study to see if its life can be extended, and has been for an additional 10 years. Life extensions relatively low cost compared to repowering, with power generation continuing as before, giving a high return.
