Contact Energy is currently overseeing the construction of the Tauhara Power Station in Taupō, located in the heart of New Zealand’s Central North Island.
This geothermal power station boasts a substantial capacity of 174MW and operates using a steam turbine system. It stands as Contact Energy’s sixth geothermal power facility in this region. Construction commenced early 2021 and Tauhara is on track to be fully operational by late 2023.
Positioned just off Broadlands Road to the east of Taupō, the Tauhara power station strategically taps into the rich geothermal energy resources of the area. Notably, VAE Group, renowned for their expertise in mechanical services, has masterminded and installed the mechanical systems within the new Turbine and Generator Building, Administration & Workshop Building, and Generator and Pump Room. AirRated® has been entrusted to independently commission the air and water systems related to HVAC services.
