I understand the fire was within the laggings around the turbine. Taranaki - combined cycle The Taranaki Combined Cycle Power Station (TCC) is a large, efficient and modern plant, producing 380MW of electricity. It has one of the best fuel efficiencies of all of New Zealand's thermal stations at 56.7 per cent. The heart of TCC is one of the largest gas turbines in the world housed in a single building. Constructed from special metals and featuring advanced cooling systems, the Alstom turbine burns gas at a temperature of 1,200 degrees celsius. The exhausts heat the steam boiler at temperatures around 640 degrees celsius. Within the turbine, two separate combustion sections allow the plant to produce very low emissions - a trademark of the Alstom gas turbine.
