Tilt applied for resource consent for the wind farm - then called Omamari - in May 2021.[1] In July 2021 Tilt signed a 20-year agreement with Genesis Energy Limited to sell the electricity from the wind-farm, which had been renamed Kaiwaikawe.[2]

The project was granted resource consent in March 2022.[3]
