An "absolutely devastated" Central Otago business owner says they will be forced to close after the approval of a massive solar farm. A solar farm on Maniototo pasture, expected to generate enough power to sustain 70,000 homes, has been given the go-ahead. Those omissions included the effect on the Voices’ dog boarding kennel business, which Mrs Voice said will have to close. Mrs Voice said they had not given up fighting for their home and business yet. Naseby resident Eric Swinbourne said he was concerned about the underestimating of traffic movement needed for the construction of the solar farm.
