The better way forward

About the site

The Glenbrook Power Station is a co-generation plant located at Glenbrook, south of Auckland, New Zealand. The power station is fully integrated into the New Zealand Steel’s ironmaking plant, supplying around 60% of their electricity requirements.

Waste heat and byproduct gases from the ironmaking plant are used to generate steam and electricity. Since this partnership reduces the electricity imported from New Zealand electricity grid, it displaces electricity generated at the margin including fossil fuelled power stations – thereby reducing carbon emissions.
