Tuai power station generator upgrade

Tuai is one of three power stations in Genesis’ Waikaremoana Power Scheme, transferring water from Lake Waikaremoana through Kaitawa (36MW), Tuai and Piripaua (42MW) power stations. Piripaua is also part way through its own overhaul of its two generators, which were first commissioned in 1943. The work will increase their efficiency by up to 3.3%, enough to power an extra 436 households per year.
