Horahora Power Station was an early hydroelectric power station on the Waikato River in New Zealand. It was the country’s first large-scale power station, completed in 1913.[1] Initially built to service a gold mine, the power station was expanded to supply a significant part of the North Island.[2] The power station remained in use until it was submerged by Lake Karapiro, which was formed to supply the larger Karapiro Power Station.[3]
