The Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE) is looking to determine the feasibility of a pumped hydro storage scheme at Lake Onslow, as part of the NZ Battery Project mandate to provide solutions to New Zealand’s low energy periods (‘dry year problem’).

MBIE is seeking a single company or consortium led by a Primary Contractor (Prime) to deliver the entire engineering and environmental scope of the feasibility study. This will involve identification of options and screening at a prefeasibility level, to recommend a preferred option to take through the feasibility stage. This investigation will involve the following work streams:
- Engineering and Geotechnical design of the scheme
- Environmental aspects, including consent planning for field geotechnical investigations
- Carrying out field geotechnical de-risking investigations and associated field work

Note: Pricing and Contract documentation will be added to this listing as an addenda in the coming days.
