KAWERAU GEOTHERMAL STATION

Opened: 2008
Total Installed Capacity: 107MW
Average Annual Output: 875GWh

Kawerau geothermal station is a Fujielectric-Sumitomo single shaft, dual flash plant. The two-phase fluid is flashed/separated twice to produce high- and low pressure steam to feed the turbine.

A number of new wells have been drilled since the station opened.

In Kawerau geothermal power production and process heat (steam) provides renewable energy to a large industrial hub. This hub supports primary industry activities, such as tissue manufacturing and milk powder production.

We have a Kawerau Community Fund, which supports groups and projects in the community around the station.
