Property Value
dbo:abstract
  • The Cobb Power Station is a hydroelectric facility on the Cobb River, 112 kilometres (70 mi) northwest of Nelson, New Zealand. Since 2003, it has been owned and operated by Trustpower. Annual generation is approximately 190 gigawatt-hours (680 TJ). It is fed by the Cobb Reservoir and has a head of 596 metres (1,955 ft), the highest of any power station in New Zealand. From the reservoir, a 2.6 kilometres (1.6 mi) long tunnel leads through the Cobb Range to the penstocks. The water flow is channelled via two 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) long penstocks and the height difference between the intake and the power station results in a high pressure water flow of 7.25 m³/s to feed the six Pelton turbines. Cobb Power Station can be reached from Upper Tākaka via a sealed but winding and narrow 16 kilometres (9.9 mi) road along Tākaka River. The power station building is situated at the edge of Kahurangi National Park, with the reservoir located entirely within the national park, another 14 kilometres (8.7 mi) further up an unsealed steep and winding road.
