Along the length of the Waikato River in the North island are a number of hydro electric stations, geothermal power stations, and the river is used as coolant for the Huntly coal-fired power station.

There are 9 working power stations on the Waikato River between Lake Taupo and the river's mouth at Port Waikato. There are also two decommissioned power stations on the river.From Lake Taupo, they are:Wairakei (176MW geothermal)Aratiatia (84MW hydro)Ohaaki (50MW geothermal)Ohakuri (112MW hydro)Atiamuri (84MW hydro)Whakamaru (100MW hydro)Maraetai (360MW hydro)Waipapa (51MW hydro)Arapuni (197MW hydro)Karapiro (96MW hydro)Huntly (1435MW coal/gas)The two decommissioned stations are:Horahora (hydro): between Arapuni and Karapiro. Was submerged in 1947 when Lake Karapiro was filledMeremere (coal): between Huntly and Port Waikato. Was decommisioned in 1991 after 33 years in service.The one you are most likely to be talking about is Huntly - it's on the Waikato River between Auckland and Hamilton, easily seen from State Highway 1.
Ord River Hydro Power Station was created in 1997.
No such river can be found
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.
