PURSUANT to section 25 of the Electricity Act 1968, the Minister of Energy consents to the generation of electricity by the Otago Electric Power Board, subject to the following conditions.

CONDITIONS

1. The conditions directed by the Water Power Regulations 1934, to be implied in every licence to use water for the purpose of generation or storing electricity, shall be deemed to be conditions of this consent as if it were such a licence.

2. This consent is subject to compliance with the Water Power Regulations 1934, the Electricity Supply Regulations 1976, the Electrical Wiring Regulations 1976, and with all regulations made in amendment thereof or in substitution therefore, as if in the case of the Water Power Regulations 1934 it were a licence under the Public Works Act 1928 to use water for the purpose of generating electricity, as well as a consent under the Electricity Act 1968, to generate electricity by the use of water.

3. The generation of electricity by the use of water, pursuant to this consent, shall be carried out by means of the works described in the Schedule hereto.

4. This consent is granted subject to prior compliance with the Water and Soil Conservation Act 1967.

5. This consent shall come into force on the 1st day of January 1983 and shall continue in force for a period of 21 years unless it is sooner lawfully determined.

6. The scheme shall be operated at all times in conjunction with the Maniototo Irrigation scheme in such a manner that water from the irrigation canals shall not be utilised for generation purposes if the same is required by the Crown for irrigation but in other respects shall be operated to supply the normal electricity demand of the Otago Electric Power Board and to conform reasonably to the pattern of the supply authority’s daily load curve.

7. Nothing expressed or implied by this consent shall raise any undertaking, representation, or warranty on the part of Her Majesty the Queen or the Government of New Zealand that the canals of the Maniototo irrigation scheme shall contain at any time sufficient water for the purposes for which the consent is granted nor shall the granting of this consent impose on Her Majesty the Queen or the Government of New Zealand any liability to pay compensation or damages to any person for the increase or reduction in the water supply in those canals from time to time however caused.

8. For the purpose of assessing in accordance with the Water Power Regulations 1934, the rental or annual sum payable in respect of this consent, the maximum generating capacity of the scheme shall be assessed at 12.25 MW.

SCHEDULE

GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF WORKS

1. The scheme will consist of 2 power stations, the first of which will utilise water taken from the Taieri River at the upper end of the Paerau Gorge and discharge it into the canals of the Maniototo Irrigation scheme. The second power station will utilise the water taken from the canals at times other than during the irrigation season and discharge it into the Taieri River immediately below the Paerau Gorge all such works being situated on that land being Part Run 308F “Styx Bend” Block 1 Loganburn Survey District and Blocks 10, 12, 14 Upper Taieri Survey District, Section 2, Block 13 Upper Taieri Survey District and Section 23 Block 10 Upper Taieri Survey District.

2. The scheme is to be constructed in conjunction with the intake works for the Maniototo Irrigation scheme of the Ministry of Works and Development and shall consist of the following:

(a) A seven metre high diversion weir on the Taieri River about 2 km downstream of the Paerau Bridge providing storage on the river flats between the weir and the Slyx Creek confluence.

(b) A 5.8 km supply conduit consisting of 4438 m of open race including the headpond and 1362 m of tunnel to carry water from the weir to the penstock at map reference S145 675332.

(c) A 1530 m long 2.0 m diameter penstock leading to a powerhouse (called “Paerau”) at approximate map reference S145 668347 containing 2 water turbines and all necessary equipment for generating electricity having a maximum capacity of 10 MW.

(d) A second powerhouse on the Taieri River (called “Patearoa”) at approximate map reference S145 677374 containing twin water turbines and all necessary equipment for generating electricity having a maximum capacity of 2.25 MW. The two powerhouses are to be linked by an open race (“Link Race”) which will also be used to supply irrigation water to the east side of the Maniototo Plains.

(e) An emergency spillway will be provided on the Link Race between the powerhouses and by-pass facilities will be provided at both powerhouses to ensure that water is always available for irrigation and to ensure that the Paerau Power Station can be operated when the Patearoa powerhouse is out of service.

(f) Control gates will be provided at the outlet to the ponding area below the Patearoa powerhouse to ensure that the discharge complies with the water right.

All as indicated on the plan marked NZE 1010, deposited in the office of the Electricity Division of the Ministry of Energy at Wellington.
