Malaysian company 'Yinson Renewables' is set to invest in a new pipeline of projects totalling one gigawatt of wind energy - almost doubling New Zealand's current capacity. 

The $3billion investment would generate enough electricity to power 750,000 homes - exceeding Huntly's current output. 

Head of Foreign Director Investment for Invest New Zealand Simon Ansley told Mike Hosking that the company has already been operating under the radar in New Zealand, and is now ready to make a major impact. 

'They've been supporting them through navigating New Zealand, regulatory environment, OAO, etc.'
