A new 450 million dollar geothermal powerstation to be built at Rotokawa, near Taupo, will be the biggest in the world – and will help manage New Zealand’s carbon footprint.

The Nga Awa Purua station is a joint venture between a local iwi land trust, and the Mighty River Power Company.

Building is due to start next month, and a Japanese company Sumitomo Fuji has been contracted to supply power generation equipment.
Mighty Power CEO Doug Heffernan says the geothermal activity in the area is a sustainable source of energy.
