In July of 2019, Geo40 was awarded $15 million from the Provincial Growth Fund (NZ Govt) to enable the construction of the Ohaaki (NZ) Northern Plant. The Northern Plant is a larger scaled up version of the Ohaaki (NZ) Commercial Demonstration Plant.
Continuing to work with Ngati Tahu Tribal Lands Trust (NZ), and the geothermal field operator Contact Energy (NZ), this project will take approximately 12 months to complete and employ up to 70 people, with 20 jobs made permanent after construction is completed.
