Story

Das Kraftwerk Huntly ist mit Stand 2014 das größte Kraftwerk in Neuseeland und liegt in der Stadt Huntly in der Region Waikato auf der Nordinsel. Es wird von der Genesis Energy Limited betrieben und deckt ca. 20 % des gesamten Strombedarfs in Neuseeland. Das Kraftwerk weist eine installierte Leistung von in Summe knapp über 1,2 GW auf und besteht aus 6 unterschiedlichen Kraftwerksblöcken: Block 1 bis 4: Die vier ältesten Blöcke stellen eine einheitliche Bauform dar und weisen jeweils eine installierte Leistung von 250 MW auf. Block 3 wird seit dem Jahr 2012 nur noch in Reserve gehalten, Block 4 wurde permanent vom Netz genommen. Jeder der mit Stand 2014 verbliebenen drei aktiven Blöcke kann wahlweise mit Kohle oder Erdgas befeuert werden. Block 5 stellt eine Gas-und-Dampf-Kombieinheit (GuD) mit einer installierten Leistung von 403 MW dar, kann nur mit Erdgas betrieben werden und wurde im Jahr 2007 in Betrieb genommen. Block 6 ist die mit 50 MW kleinste Einheit bestehend aus einer schnell zu startenden Gasturbine und dient zur Abdeckung von Spitzenlast. Die im Jahr 2004 errichtete Einheit kann wahlweise mit Erdöl oder Erdgas betrieben werden. Rund 50 % der Kohle für die Blöcke 1 bis 4 wird aus Indonesien importiert, der Rest aus unterschiedlichen Kohleförderstätten in Neuseeland gewonnen. Das Erdgas stammt unter anderem aus dem Maui Erdgasfeld, dem größten bekannten Erdgasvorkommen in der Tasmansee westlich von Neuseeland. Das Kraftwerk Huntly nutzt den benachbarten Waikato River zur Kühlung, weiters ist der Kraftwerkskomplex einer der größten Kohlenstoffdioxidemittenten in Neuseeland.

Very powerful place!!! Impressive smoke stacks dominating the region
Should be considered by Doc for the next great walk. Breathtaking views of the smoke stacks and the majestic brown of the Waikato River make this a must see for any NZ visitor
Love the air pollution from this place, really improves my health. If your doctor isn’t recommending this place I’m sorry to tell you they’re not a real doctor
Takes your breath away
One of the most visually striking power stations I've ever seen, especially from across the river.
Went on a day trip to see Huntly's pride and joy, second to the Deka sign. Very nice. Great success. Highly recommended. The chimney stacks were 2/2, and overall I'd rate this 10/10.
Would be a great filming site
