Pātea Dam
South Taranaki District, New Zealand
The 3100th largest power station in the world
The Pātea Dam is a high compacted earth fill–type hydroelectric dam in Taranaki, New Zealand, constructed between 1980 and 1984. The dam is 82 metres (269 ft) high, and is the fourth highest dam in New Zealand. It was the first dam constructed using tertiary sandstone and siltstone as fill materials. The dam impounds the Pātea River and formed Lake Rotorangi, which is the longest man-made lake in New Zealand (46 kilometres (29 mi)).
