Lake Tekapo and lake Manapouri.
Cruachan Power Station is a storage hydro-electric power station whereas a Normal Hydroelectric power station is produced and then used, no storage needed.
Walchensee Hydroelectric Power Station was created in 1924.
Hammeren Hydroelectric Power Station was created in 1900.
Manapouri is New Zealand's largest hydro power station, (850MW) but it is not on a river. It is fed from Lake Manapouri and is in an ecavated underground cave 200m below the lake surface. Water from the power station runs through underground tailraces to Deep Cove in Doubtful Sound. About 3/4 of the power produced by Manapouri is used by the aluminum smelter at Tiwai Point. The Benmore hydro power station on the Waitaki river has a capacity of 540 MW and is the second largest hydro power station in New Zealand, therefore the river wth the largest hydro power station is the Waitaki.
Lake Manapouri is a lake in South Island with a power station. The lake is situated within the Fiordland National Park and the wider region of Te Waipounamu South West New Zealand World Heritage Area.
Construction started on February the 4th, 1994 and was completed in September, 1971.
A power station that harnesses power from running water.

The largest hydro power scheme in NZ is that between lake Manapouri and Deep Cove in Doubtful Sound. It is permitted for 730MW, but could generate 830MW if needed.[Benmore Power scheme on the Waitaki River is the next largest with a capacity of 540MW, but current work should increase that to 610MW.]
