The Tauhara Power Station is a geothermal power station north of Taupō in New Zealand. Previously known as Tauhara 2, the project is being developed by Contact Energy and Tauhara Moana Trust [3] and opened in November 2024. At its peak it can produce up to 174 megawatts of electricity, enough to power about 200 thousand homes.
Te Mihi Power Station uses geothermal energy from the Wairakei geothermal field, which lies in the Taupō Volcanic Zone. It is part of a plan to gradually replace the Wairakei Power Station which will be phased out of production. With Te Mihi in operation, output from Wairakei is decreased by approximately 45 MW, resulting in a net increase of ...

Pipes running from the Power station. The use of steam from the field has had a number of visible effects on the local environment. Visible geothermal activity has increased (due to changes in the water table / water pressure allowing more steam to be created underground, upsurging at places like Craters of the Moon), while there has also been some land subsidence and reduction in steam ...
The Te Huka Geothermal Power Station, also known as Tauhara One, is a 23 MW binary cycle geothermal power station situated near Taupō, New Zealand. The power station is operated by Contact Energy . In July 2008, Contact Energy announced that the contract for supply and construction of the binary cycle equipment was awarded to Ormat Technologies .
Nga Awa Purua, also known as Rotokawa II, is a geothermal power station located near Taupō in New Zealand. The project was developed by Mighty River Power (now Mercury Energy). [1] Nga Awa Purua is New Zealand's second largest geothermal power station [2] and the steam turbine is the largest geothermal turbine in the world. [3]
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.
