context_page_description: The Cobb Power Station is a hydroelectric facility on the Cobb River, 112 kilometres northwest of Nelson, New Zealand. Since 2003, it has been owned and operated by Trustpower. Annual generation is approximately 190 gigawatt-hours.
  It is fed by the Cobb Reservoir and has a head of 596 metres, the highest of any power station in New Zealand. From the reservoir, a 2.6 kilometres long tunnel leads through the Cobb Range to the penstocks. The water flow is channelled via two 4 kilometres long penstocks and the height difference between the intake and the power station results in a high pressure water flow of 7.25 m³/s to feed the six Pelton turbines.
  Cobb Power Station can be reached from Upper Takaka via a sealed but winding and narrow 28 kilometres road along Tākaka River. The power station building is situated at the edge of Kahurangi National Park, with the reservoir located entirely within the national park.
