Contact Energy has filed resource consent applications for the second phase of its development of the Tauhara geothermal resource near Taupo.
Contact has requested that the application for the 250-megawatt Tauhara 2 development be considered under the new Environmental Protection Agency process which speeds up the potential award of consents to within nine months of the application being accepted.
Tauhara 2 will follow Contact's first stage of development of the Tauhara steam field, a 23MW geothermal binary power station under construction in Taupo.
