tuffrings.bsky.social @tuffrings.bsky.social · 14/06/2026I agree, the 1GW figure seems to be aspirational, although the ministerial briefing notes you linked describe it as expected. And yes, a corner of the site is under two 220kv towers. 100 1
tuffrings.bsky.social @tuffrings.bsky.social · 14/06/2026This 2023 report includes a Southland electrical network diagram. It shows a third 220kv line leaving North Makerewa substation, but that goes east, a few km north of the Datagrid site. It also shows upgrades planned elsewhere in Southland, but not near the site. www.eeca.govt.nz/assets/EECA-... 110 1
Kara B @faerytern.bsky.social · 14/06/2026Yeah, there's wind and renewables in dunners. Not that it is brought down for the data center, but more to link all renewable gen across the country together. 110 1
