	Manapouri Power Station - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The idea to build a power station was first suggested in 1904, but the remoteness of the location and the scale of the engineering task made any project infeasible at the time.
		Access to the power station is via a two-kilometre vehicle access tunnel, which spirals down from the surface, or a lift that drops 193m down from the control room above the lake.
		The power station is housed in a cavern, excavated from solid granite rock 200 metres below the surface of Lake Manapouri.

	Power Station
		Building such an underground power station would also minimise heat losses – it would in effect be supra insulated by the ground above.
		This would indicate that for a 1000MW power station, an area of combustion of 40 metres by 40 metres may be needed.
		The power station could be built on a hillside or under a mountain cf Dinorwic, for structural stability and reduced environmental impact eg

		To take advantage of this, a small (2.4MW) underground power station was constructed at Mullardoch as an 'afterthought', after the completion of the rest of the scheme; the dam and tunnel were completed in 1952, the power station in 1955.
		It is the main storage reservoir for Fasnakyle power station, which lies in Glen Cannich, to the south.
		Loch Mullardoch, the reservoir formed by the dam, represents the considerably enlarged conjoined loch formed from the union of the pre-dam Loch Mullardoch, and Loch Lungard, which lay to the west.
