Description
The Lake Pūkaki Hydro Storage and Dam Resilience Works is a major hydroelectric scheme centered on Lake Pūkaki in the Mackenzie Basin of New Zealand's South Island. It forms a cornerstone of the wider Waitaki Power Scheme (WPS)—New Zealand's largest and most flexible hydroelectric system.
Waitaki Integration: Water from Lake Pūkaki is diverted into canals and fed through multiple power stations (including the Ōhau stations) before flowing into Lake Benmore.
