Cobb River Power Station sits in mountainous country at the junction of the Takaka and Cobb Rivers in the Kahurangi National Park.
The stored water is at 794 metres in altitude, almost 600 vertical metres above the power station.
This ‘head’ is the greatest of any New Zealand power station, enabling 36 MW of power to be generated by relatively little water.
