Marsden B was an unused 250 MW oil-fired power station near the Marsden Point Oil Refinery at Marsden Point Ruakaka Northland New Zealand. Due to rising oil prices the plant was mothballed in 1978 without ever being commissioned. The Marsden site also includes the Marsden A power station now a synchronous compensation facility owned and operated by Mighty River Power.Various schemes were considered for utilising the plant spanning a range of fuels and technologies.
