Ngatamariki is a geothermal power station commissioned in 2013 and operated by Mercury Energy.It is located approximately 17 km north east of Taupō and was constructed well under the budget of $475 million.
English: A geothermal drilling rig near Lake Taupo, New Zealand. The region has a long history of geothermal power plants going back almost half a century, and a number of new wells are now being dug for large new generation facilities.
The reefs are at a high heat-output geothermal hot spot area within the Taupō Volcano. [3] This is related to rhyolitic lava domes extruded after explosive volcanism. [4] The explosive eruptions include the VEI 7 Hatepe eruption of 232 ± 10 CE that ejected over 120 km 3 (29 cu mi) of material (also known as Horomatangi Reef Unit Y eruption) [5] and its linear line of eruption centres, [6] as ...
Craters of the Moon Thermal Area (or Karapiti in Māori language) is a region with geothermal activity north of Taupō, New Zealand.It is a part of Wairakei, the largest geothermal field in New Zealand, with a surface area of about 25 km 2, which lies in the Taupō Volcanic Zone.
Present active geothermal systems are in light blue. The Hatepe eruption , named for the Hatepe Plinian pumice tephra layer , [ 1 ] sometimes referred to as the Taupō eruption or Horomatangi Reef Unit Y eruption, is dated to 232 CE ± 10 [ 2 ] and was Taupō Volcano 's most recent major eruption .
The Hipaua geothermal area is shown to the south of Lake Taupō in light blue. In this map recent eruption vents are in red and are some distance away. The 0.75-kilometre (0.47 mi) long steaming cliffs are part of a 7-hectare (17-acre) [ 1 ] geothermal area that crosses the escarpment on the line of the Waihi fault.
