The Rotokawa Power Station is a geothermal power station owned and operated by Mercury Energy. It is located approximately 10 km north east of Taupō in New Zealand. The station uses a binary cycle manufactured by Ormat Industries.
In May 2008, work began on the nearby Nga Awa Purua Power Station.[1]
Due to the high temperatures associated with the geothermal vent here, this locale is an occurrence of extremophile micro-organisms that can thrive on the high vent water temperature.[2]
