The $993 million project was expected to produce an additional {{convert|1100|to|1400|GWh}} per annum, and take up to {{convert|260|m3/s}} of water from Lake Waitaki. The project would have resulted in a {{convert|275|GWh}} per annum reduction in output from the Waitaki hydro station.[1] Discovery of geological faultlines prompted a rethink of the project, including consideration of using a canal instead of a tunnel.[2] Work on the project was suspended in January 2013 due to a forecast of flat demand for electricity for the next five years.[3] This project is at a similar location to Project Aqua, a hydroelectric power proposal abandoned by Meridian in 2004. Resource consent processIn December 2008, Environment Canterbury granted water use consents for this project.[4] Appeals against this decision were made by Ngai Tahu, Ngai Tahu Fishers People Inc, the Lower Waitaki River Management Society and Black Point farmer Garth Dovey.[5] The appeal hearings were held in the Environment Court during June and July 2009,[6] with water rights being granted in September 2009.[7] See also{{stack|{{Portal|New Zealand|Water|Renewable energy}}}}
