This power station at Normanby has been upgraded so it can generate power for medicinal cannabis company, Greenfern.
South Taranaki-based medicinal cannabis company Greenfern Industries has begun generating its own electricity to run its indoor growing operation. The company’s hydroelectric power station on the Waingongoro River in Taranaki got approval last week from the Taranaki Regional Council to begin generating power again, after an extensive upgrade, managing director Dan Casey said.
