The New Zealand Energy Excellence Awards are coming up next month and we are thrilled to learn that two of our major projects over the last few years have been nominated for the Large Energy User Initiative of the Year 2024!

We congratulate both Fonterra and Mataura Valley Milk for being finalists in this category and showing their commitment to their respective decarbonisation goals.

Fonterra Waitoa’s project was a 30MW Biomass Fired Bubbling Fluidised Bed Boiler plant. The choice of the BFB technology means Fonterra could burn a wide range of biomass fuel including fuels with a high moisture content. The outcome of this project is that Fonterra have been able to significantly reduce coal consumption on site.

MVM installed a 20MW Electrode boiler which was the first high-pressure electrode boiler in New Zealand. The new electrode boiler replaces the need for the coal boiler on site which makes MVM the first fully electric dairy plant in New Zealand.

Windsor have been honoured to partner with our clients to reach these impressive decarbonisation achievements
