Under the $93.9 million (€65.8 million) deal Toshiba will supply two 83 MW class geothermal turbines, each with a generator and condenser, and deliver them in 2012. The deal is being carried out by its Australian subsidiary, Toshiba International Corporation Pty. Ltd. (TIC Australia).
The Te Mihi power plant is located in the Taupo Volcanic Zone in the North island of New Zealand. The project is Toshiba’s first geothermal power project in the country.
Design engineering and manufacturing for the project will be done at Toshiba’s Keihin Product Operations in Yokohama, Japan.
