| Contact Energy to construct power station on Centennial Drive New Zealand's electricity company Contact Energy entered into agreements with Ormat, a geothermal equipment manufacturer and constructor, to supply and construct a 23.3 megawatt binary power station on Centennial Drive, Taupo for $60 million. Ormat supplied and constructed the Wairakei binary plant for Contact in 2004 and the binary power station will follow a similar design. Contact has already drilled the wells necessary to power the station as part of the programme to appraise the Tauhara steamfield. The total cost to deliver the project is expected to be approximately $100 million, including works undertaken to date. write your comments about the article :: © 2008 Construction News :: home page |
