 Other wind farms have had their consents extended, although the approval of consent extensions may not continue indefinitely.There are two other industrial scale wind farm developments planned for the Puketoi range and surrounding area, the 53 turbine (Mighty River Power) Puketoi wind farm (south of Waitahora)  and the 286 turbine (Genesis Energy) Castle Hill wind farm (south of Puketoi).Five power companies (including Contact Energy, developer of the proposed Waitahora Wind Farm) asked for the district plan to be modified to avoid hindering wind energy generation projects.
