Energy boffins see potential for hydro-electricity generation in the Huka Falls and even the Narrows on the outskirts of Hamilton.
Auckland consultants Sinclair Knight Merz concluded a further 100MW beyond existing generation could be extracted from small to medium hydro projects within the Waikato, though they said they took no account of environmental or social constraints in assessing this potential.
"Though the daytime tourism value is clearly high, Huka Falls represents a significant potential around 40MW and it may be possible for a scheme to be configured without substantially affecting the visual flow."
