Reefton was the first town with a reticulated public electricity supply from a significant hydroelectric plant after the commissioning of the Reefton Power Station in 1888.The plan in 1959 to raise the level of Lake Manapouri to increase hydro-electric generation met with resistance, and the Save Manapouri Campaign became a milestone in environmental awareness. Later hydro schemes (such as the Clyde Dam) were also controversial, and in recent decades coal and gas-fired thermal stations have been approved in New Zealand, while renewable energy schemes in general have been turned down because of the unpopular effect they have on the environment.
