Quick facts: In 1911, the Mt Lyell Co began construction on a dam to raise the height of Lake Margaret, a glacial lake on Mt Sedgwic, and clear a site on the Yolande for a new power station to support their mining operations. The site is about 10km from Queenstown. Hydro Electricity Commission brought the Lake Margaret scheme in 1985. It was closed from 30 Jun 2006 to Nov 2009 for refurbishment. The 2.2km low-pressure woodstave penstock from the lake to the powerhouse is of considerable historical significance and was operational for 69yrs. Sections were preserved during the power station refurbishment.
