One place B was eager to visit while we were in Taupo last year is Ohaaki Power Station just outside of town. It's a geothermal powered and operated by Contact Energy and it is the only one in the country to have a 105m high natural draft cooling tower.
Edited to add: We will be travelling to the South Island this week for our move so I may not be around until maybe Saturday or Sunday so apart from my posts being automatically set I will see you all then.

Interesting - were you able to get any closer to learn more about it?
Thank you for sharing at https://image-in-ing.blogspot.com/2022/04/ukranian-church-national-shrine-of-holy.html
Nice photo composition!
Enjoy your trip!
Interesting capture, Amy.
Happy Tuesday!
...at first glance I thought that was cooling tower for a nuclear power plant. It's wonderful to the geothermal engery.
Have a great move! It's a big change. Take loads of photos!!
Some subject. I payed way too much for a breadroll and Ingo said it needs to get more expensive, just like the energy we rely on to.
Have a good and safe trip. Fun, too!
Thanks Amy, I have often wondered exactly what that tower was used for and now I know.
Hope your trip south goes well and the weather is kind to you. Take care, Mxx
Well composed.
That´s one big #ss cooling tower. Don´t have them in Finland I believe. We have 4 nuclear power plants and 5th on it´s way. But they lack this feature.
Thanks for sharing your link at My Corner of the World this week!
