## Historic generating station

An industrial building on Old Renwick Road, adjacent to the [Transpower](/source/Transpower_New_Zealand_Limited) substation, contains diesel generators that date back to 1930.

The [Marlborough Region](/source/Marlborough_Region) was not connected to the rest of the national grid until the mid-1950s. The supply of electricity to Marlborough was initially dependent on a small hydro station at [Waihopai Valley](/source/Waihopai_Valley). In 1930, a diesel generator was established at Springlands to provide backup power when hydrogeneration was not available. A further generator set was installed in 1937. These generators have been preserved by [Marlborough Lines](/source/Marlborough_Lines_Limited) as part of the engineering heritage of electricity supply in the region. [12]
