The Clyde and Roxburgh dams have become synonymous with the Central Otago region and have become symbols of New Zealand's largely renewable electricity system.
Both of these power stations have provided New Zealand with decades of renewable energy and have helped to power the country's economy and our quality of life. Commissioned in 1956, Roxburgh was New Zealand's first large-scale hydro dam and marked the beginning of the country's great history of hydro development.
But New Zealand needs more energy to power our growing country for the next 100 years and beyond. Earlier this year Contact Energy – the owner of the Clyde and Roxburgh dams – said that it was starting to review old plans for a number of possible future hydro developments on the Clutha River/Mata-au.
