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.
