The People And the Power: the History of the Tiwai Point Aluminium Smelter

A book detailing the establishment and operation of New Zealand's large aluminium smelter, a project deeply intertwined with the Manapouri hydroelectric power scheme, spanning decades of economic, political, and social significance, focusing on the crucial interplay between abundant electricity, the local community (including its Maori heritage), and global industry. The smelter, opened in 1971, was a massive undertaking requiring significant government investment in power infrastructure, becoming a key employer and exporter but facing ongoing challenges with energy costs and its environmental footprint.
