Two new geothermal power units of 83 MW each will be constructed near the Wairakei geothermal power station, northwest of Taupo, NZ. Once completed, approximately 45 MW of the existing Wairakei geothermal station will be decommissioned, resulting in a net increase from the combined Te Mihi and Wairakei stations of 114 megawatts. write your comments about the article :: © 2011 Construction News :: home page |
