Dannevirke Solar Farm
Operational April 2026
BrightFern partners with developers across the full project lifecycle, from early-stage land options through to advanced and consented solar and energy storage projects.
We work closely with developers pursuing large-scale renewable energy opportunities, as well as energy-intensive businesses exploring behind-the-meter and on-site generation solutions.
End-to-end project support
In addition to development partnerships, BrightFern provides support across construction, operations, and long-term asset management.
This integrated approach helps reduce complexity, manage risk, and create bankable renewable energy projects built for long-term performance.
Flexible commercial models
We structure partnerships to suit each opportunity.
BrightFern works with developers under a range of risk and return arrangements, tailoring commercial terms to reflect project stage, capital requirements, and delivery objectives.

Supporting corporate sustainability goals
We collaborate with businesses, government agencies, and energy market participants seeking to support New Zealand’s energy transition.
Increasingly, BrightFern works directly with corporates looking to improve their environmental performance by sourcing energy from renewable sources, helping them meet sustainability commitments while securing long-term energy certainty.
A trusted energy partner
BrightFern’s integrated approach, sector relationships, and project development capability position us as a reliable partner for organisations seeking renewable energy solutions.
We focus on long-term collaboration, clear communication, and outcomes that create shared value.
Reducing risk. Increasing resilience.
Solar farm partnerships provide income certainty that is not affected by weather, seasonal conditions, or commodity prices.
This additional revenue helps reduce risk across farming operations and supports long-term financial resilience for landowners and their families.
Diversified income without disrupting farming operations
BrightFern solar farms are designed so farming and grazing can continue alongside solar generation.
Our agri-voltaic layouts allow livestock and machinery to operate around the solar arrays, meaning land remains productive while also generating clean electricity. Landowners receive a passive income with no capital outlay or operating costs, under long-term lease agreements typically spanning 25–30 years.
Landowners
Trusted solar partnerships built for the long term
BrightFern works with New Zealand landowners to develop solar farms that create stable, long-term income. Our approach is partnership-led, transparent, and focused on delivering value over decades.
By leasing suitable land for solar development, landowners gain a reliable income stream while supporting New Zealand’s transition to renewable energy.
