Once known as the Otago Central Electric Power Board a community owned organisation with exclusive rights to generate, distribute and supply electricity to the wider Central Otago.
It was commissioned in 1924, originally operating with two generators, each of 125 kW output and driven by Francis turbines. The former Otago Central Electric Power Board purchased the Wye Creek plant from the Goldfields Dredging Company in September 1941, the transfer was made for 5,750. At this time, the Wye Creek Hydro Scheme was capable of producing 400 kW of energy. In 1930, surplus power available from Teviot was diminishing due to growth in the Teviot district and the increasing requirements of the Central Otago board.
The proposal was to construct a storage dam at the top of the hill and direct water through a pipeline to a powerhouse above the existing Lower Meg Station intake weir, this station is known as the Upper Meg. The original, temporary, generating plant was installed in 1948 as a joint venture between the former Otago Central Electric Power Board and Public Works Department. The station’s water supply comes from the Combined Irrigation Companies CIC owned Fraser Dam. The station has an overflow pipeline alongside the main penstock, which enables water to continue flowing to the lower stations when the Michelle Station is off line. Over the last century the Teviot River has been dammed and the water used for mining operations, irrigation and the production of hydro electricity. The ownership structure changed with the assets of the Otago Central Electric Power Board forming Central Electric Ltd. The company retained the region’s generating assets and was renamed Pioneer Generation Ltd. Dividends to the Central Lakes Trust assist the Trust’s support of the Central Otago community.
The dam is of unique construction, being the first roller compacted concrete dam in New Zealand. Pioneer's newest hydro electric power station on the Teviot River is the Kowhai. In 2015 Pioneer Generation Ltd, The Power Company Ltd TPCL and Electricity Invercargill Ltd EIL came together to form a new wind generation investment partnership, being Southern Generation Limited Partnership Southern Generation . Pioneer Generation Ltd manages the Southern Generation Limited Partnership and specialises in small hydro, wind and thermal generation and heat plant around New Zealand. TPCL and EIL also jointly own the OtagoNet electricity network.
