Arapuni Works At Top To Meet Demand
[Special to “Northern Advocate”! AUCKLAND. This Day. Fair progress is being made with the work of installing two additional turbines at Arapuni. The penstock tunnels through the rock between the water race and the power station have been pierced, and the penstock gates have been placed in position. There may be delay in securing steel for the lining of the tunnels, while the turbines have not yet arrived. The six turbines in operation at Arapuni are working at full pressure to meet the growing demand for electricity, which increases as the winter advances. Up to 130,000 kilowatts were generated at Arapuni last evening.
